FAIR Principles state that data should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable to ensure good data stewardship and reproducibility.
Practical guidance regarding how exactly to apply these aspirational principles, however, has been lacking up until now.
To address this gap, EOSC-Life played a significant role in supporting the FAIRplus project in creating the FAIR Cookbook, an open, online resource of hands-on recipes for “FAIR doers” in the Life Sciences, which provides this essential guidance.
The FAIR Cookbook has now been published in the Nature journal Scientific Data:
Vital work is also ongoing to tag the ‘recipes’ with a terminology that describes the competencies, skills and knowledge associated with making and keeping data FAIR!
