FAIRsharing plays a key role in helping
editors to discover and recommend
appropriate resources
Objectives:
• guide journals and publishers in
providing authors with consistent
recommendations on data deposition
• reduce potential for confusion of
researchers and support staff
• inform data repository developers and
managers of the features believed to be
important by journals and publishers
• apprise certification and other evaluation
initiatives, serving as a reference and
perspective from journals and publishers
Collaboration:
Harmonize journals and publishers’ data deposition guidelines
by defining a common set of criteria for repository selection
