Software and data citation are emerging best practices in scholarly communication. This article provides structured guidance to the academic publishing community on how to implement software and data citation in publishing workflows. These best practices support the verifiability and reproducibility of academic and scientific results, sharing and reuse of valuable data and software tools, and attribution to the creators of the software and data.

An urgent need exists for innovative models that maximize resource efficiency and promote widespread timely access. We examined uptake and outcomes from 82 families participating in a parent-mediated intervention comprising group-based learning and individual coaching, delivered either in-person (n = 45) or virtually (n = 37).

- Primate chemical communication, especially through scent-marking, is often overlooked because primates are thought to rely more on other sensory methods, but olfaction is significant in their societies.
- A study on red-ruffed lemurs at two UK zoos involved 132 hours of behavioral observations and chemical analysis of their scent-marking, revealing that males marked more frequently and in specific spots, while females' marking was linked to their age.
- The research identified 32 volatile compounds in the lemurs' scent-marking, suggesting that it might convey information about sex and age, with males using neck-marking for territorial defense and females using ano-genital marking for socio-sexual communication.
Antibodies that block T-cell-regulatory checkpoints have recently emerged as a transformative approach to cancer treatment. However, the clinical efficacy of checkpoint blockade depends upon inherent tumor immunogenicity, with variation in infiltrating T cells contributing to differences in objective response rates. Here, we sought to understand the molecular correlates of tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TIL) in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), using a systems biologic approach to integrate publicly available omics datasets with histopathologic features.

The intervention integrates interpersonal and technology-mediated strategies with the expectation that this will work synergistically.
Methods: The development followed the Medical Research Council's framework.
Objective: While effective preventative medication is readily available for asthma, adherence is a major problem due to patients' beliefs about their illness and medication. We investigated whether a text message programme targeted at changing patients' illness and medication beliefs would improve adherence in young adult asthma patients.
Methods: Two hundred and sixteen patients aged between 16 and 45 on asthma preventer medication were recruited from pamphlets dispensed with medication and e-mails sent to members of a targeted marketing website.
