New article on transparent evaluations of FAIRness

• 

The newly published article on transparent evaluations of FAIRness that is increasingly required by a wide range of stakeholders, from scientists to publishers, funding agencies and policy makers, “Evaluating FAIR maturity through a scalable, automated, community-governed framework”, shed a light on a scalable, automatable framework to evaluate digital resources that encompasses measurable indicators, open source tools, and participation guidelines, which come together to accommodate domain relevant community-defined FAIR assessments. Technical and social considerations of FAIR assessments and how it translates to a community-driven infrastructure are taken into consideration to incrementally and realistically improve the FAIRness of the resources.
