Example

Here is an example of an article in a popular (NOT peer-reviewed source):
"Data breaches at hospitals associated with thousands of additional patient deaths," Wall Street Journal, March 23, 2018

Here is the researcher's conference presentation on the same topic:
"Do hospital data breaches reduce patient care quality?"

Here is some of the researcher's data:
"Health data breaches," interactive map created by Sung Choi. Last updated: March 1, 2017

Note the recent dates of the researcher's data and conference presentation. It is unlikely that a peer-reviewed paper has yet been published on this research.
