Research updates

New Library records and the latest accepted explanation for each Research Insight, in one place.

Library dates show when RSRC added a record, not when the work was published. An explanation date marks an accepted editorial change; it does not necessarily mean new research was added. Routine metadata checks and unfinished drafts stay out of this list.
