DCN-59: Verasonics Processing Test Data, a biomedical engineering MATLAB dataset, was submitted to the DCN by Sophia Lafferty-Hess and curated by Susan Borda.

Sophia submitted this dataset looking for technical and disciplinary expertise, and Susan was the best fit!

Susan reported that this was a good quality dataset, and her only recommendation was that the researcher provide additional information about file structure and variable names.

As a result of Susan’s expertise only minimal curation actions were necessary – the researcher amended the documentation to include details about the data structure as recommended.

The purpose of this Dataset Digest series of blog posts is to keep our followers informed and up to date on the curation activities of the DCN! These weekly updates will summarize datasets that have been curated by the network. Once a dataset is “finalized” (curation is complete, any necessary updates or changes have been made, and the dataset has been made publicly available via the local partner repository) we add it to our website and include it in our weekly digest. Thank you for following our progress!
