I'm creating this issue to propose that we explore how the version note feature helps potential data re-users evaluate data trustworthiness.

Background
As part of the Trusted Data Collaboration, members of the Dataverse community worked on a report about how information about a repository might help potential data re-users evaluate the trustworthiness of the data they're interested in.
During that discussion, Rachel Fernandez at ASU asked if information about what curators did to the dataset would also help potential data re-users evaluate data trustworthiness, and I wrote about what the Version Notes feature does and how that might help.
We agreed that an evaluation of this feature would be helpful. This was outside the scope of the group's report and at the time is outside of the scope of the Trusted Data Collaboration's work, so I decided to open this GitHub issue to encourage and track discussion about such an evaluation.
