FAIR Data Principles (applies to software too)

• FindableFindableFindableFindable–Assign persistent IDs (PIDs), provide rich metadata, register in a searchable resource, …

• AccessibleAccessibleAccessibleAccessible–Retrievable by their ID using a standard protocol, metadata remain accessible even when data are no longer available…

Enabling FAIR Data Project - Objectives

• FAIRFAIRFAIRFAIR----aligned data repositories aligned data repositories aligned data repositories aligned data repositories add value to research data, provide metadata and landing pages for discoverability, and support researchers with documentation guidance, citation support, and curation.

• FAIRFAIRFAIRFAIR----aligned Earth, space, and environmental science publishers aligned Earth, space, and environmental science publishers aligned Earth, space, and environmental science publishers aligned Earth, space, and environmental science publishers align their policies to establish a similar experience for researchers. Data, software, technology will be available through citations that resolve to repository landing pages. Availability statements are provided.

FAIR-Aligned: Publisher Commitment (1 of 2)

• Ensure that data are open and FAIRare open and FAIRare open and FAIRare open and FAIR, and, to the greatest extent possible, openly accessible at the time of publication.

• Direct all core research outputs (data, software, appropriate samples and sample descriptions) to FAIR-aligned repositories.

• Adopt a shared set of author guidelines that support these principles.

• Inform editors and reviewers of the FAIR data principles, and communicate these principles in author and reviewer workshops and training.

• Regularly review and update these data management practices, to align with current developments.

FAIR-Aligned: Publisher Commitment (2 of 2)

• Enable the connections between data citations in references and data, allowing researchers to receive credit for data sharing practices.

• Implement standard identifiers for all authors (e.g., ORCID), author contributions (e.g., CRediT), samples (e.g., IGSN), institutions, funders and grants.

• Develop or point to tools and training resources to help researchers identify appropriate repositories.

• Clarify to researchers through the above instructions and tools the types and minimum expectations for data.
