Default Is there any research about water change rates?

Don't have time for a close read, but this doesn't look like an "against
frequent partial water changes" site:

Overview

Water changes are imperative for the health and well-being of your fish.
I have found, through many years of trial and error, that weekly water
changes of 10% provide the least amount of stress and most amount of
benefits for your pond fish. Koi on the other hand, will benefit more with
more water changes and thrive with a flow through water system.

Perhaps you could C&P whatever it was you read there? ~ jan
