2018 ESIP Summer Meeting

The Enabling FAIR Data project will be moving quickly towards implementation. This session will provide the current status of the Commitment Statement and other project activities and outcome. This is a community-driven effort convened by the AGU. The purpose is to make scientific data open and FAIR across the Earth, space, and environmental science community. The FAIR Guiding Principles promote that data (including software and other research products) are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.

This project provides common guidelines, recommendations, and policies for all journals and repositories in support of data (and other digital research products) being submitted and preserved in repositories with proper citation in the scholarly paper. This will allow data to be discoverable as a digital research product and not embedded in a supplement with inadequate metadata.
