FAIR Assessment Checklist for Data Repositories

Abstract

This assessment checklist is intended to support data repository managers who want to evaluate their repositories FAIR enabling practices. The FAIR checklist is provided as a guide to evaluating current implementation and future actions to make a repository FAIR enabling. The intention of this checklist is to allow for honest evaluation of concrete ways to be FAIR enabling, rather than admonishment for lack of adoption.

There are two versions of this assessment provided. One version (FAIR_Assessment_Checklist_for_Data_Repositories_Implementation_V01.docx) includes a section for evaluating levels of FAIR implementation for each criteria. The second version (FAIR_Assessment_Checklist_for_Data_Repositories_No_Implementation_V01.docx) does not include the implementation evaluation section. The version with implementation levels is most helpful for those who are already familiar with the FAIR Principles and want an option to evaluate their implementation status overall. Thank you to the NIAGADS team at the University of Pennsylvania for collaborating on this topic together to support FAIR-er data repositories.
