The document discusses the importance of FAIR principles in making repositories, databases, and standards more discoverable and usable by researchers and publishers. It highlights the discrepancies in recommendations by journals and includes collaborative efforts to harmonize data deposition guidelines based on common criteria. Fairsharing.org plays a crucial role in providing metadata that enhances visibility, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of research resources.

- 13. What have we learned and what are we doing now? Discrepancy in recommendations across the data policies • some repositories are named, but very few standards are • cautious approach due to the wealth of existing resources Recommendations are often driven by • the editor’s familiarity with one or more standards, notably for journals or publishers focusing on specific disciplines • the engagement with learned societies and researchers actively supporting and using certain resources ⮚ Consensus: FAIRsharing plays a key role in helping editors to discover and recommend appropriate resources, but repositories and standards could be more FAIR!
- 14. In scope: • A shared list of recommended deposition repositories Out of scope: • Become or compete with • certification systems for repositories, such as CoreTrustSeal; • evaluation processes by a community ‘authority’ in a given area, e.g. by ELIXIR in the life sciences Collaboration: Harmonize journals and publishers’ data deposition guidelines by defining a common set of criteria for repository selection Document being approved internally by publishers; out before / to be presented at RDA’s 14th Plenary, Helsinki
- 15. • Findable - use PID schemas, use schema.org mark-up, add metadata to FAIRsharing • Accessible - Define level of openness – access protocol and license clearly in a policy findable from the homepage • Interoperable – Use community standards for reporting, models, formats and terminologies • Reusable - Licensing, provenance of data, follow reporting standards – clear policy linked from homepage Ways to help make your repository FAIR
- 16. FAIRsharing enables the FAIR principles FAIR principles DOI: 10.1038/sdata.2016.18 • Ensures that standards, repositories and policies are: • Findable - by providing DOIs and marking up metadata records with schema.org • Accessible - by identifying their level of openess, license type and other information in the metadata • Interoperable – highlighting which repositories implement the same standards for structuring and exchanging data • Reusable – through knowing the level of endorsement of a repository by publisher data policies and the level of implementation of a standard by repositories encourages their use rather than reinvention
