and stewardship. Sci. Data 3:160018 doi: 10.1038/sdata.2016.18 (2016).
R1. (meta)data are richly described with a plurality of accurate and relevant attributes
R2. (meta)data are released with a clear and accessible data usage license
R2. (meta)data are associated with detailed provenance
R3. (meta)data meet domain-relevant community standards
I1. (meta)data use a formal, accessible, shared language for knowledge representation.
I2. (meta)data use vocabularies that follow FAIR principles
I3. (meta)data include qualified references to other (meta)data
A1. (meta)data are retrievable by their identifier using a standardized
communications protocol
A2. (meta)data are accessible, even when the data are no longer available
F1. (meta)data are assigned a globally unique and persistent identifier
F2. data are described with rich metadata (defined by R1 below)
F3. metadata clearly and explicitly include the identifier of the data it describes
F4. (meta)data are registered or indexed in a searchable resource

Project Objectives:
• Scholarly publishers:
• adopt common policy on data sharing
• all data are to be deposited, documented, and preserved
in a FAIR-aligned repository,a
• cited in the manuscript with an appropriate data
availability statement.
• Scientific repositories:
• Provide services to ensure data and software that
support published research are well documented
• identified with global persistent identifiers
• have landing pages with both machine
and human readable information.

• Ensure that research outputs are:
• Open and FAIR,
• have essential documentation, and
• include human-readable and machine-readable metadata (e.g., on landing pages) in standard formats
• that are exposed and publicly discoverable.
• Ingest and expose data to promote interoperability and reuse.
• Ensure that unique, persistent identifiers are used for:
• authors (e.g., ORCID),
• research objects (e.g., Digital Object Identifier), and
• physical samples (e.g., IGSN).
• Create associations among the research outputs that they manage and other related
entities.
• Ensure that data and software have licenses that are as open as possible, and as protected
as necessary.
• Support peer-review of related manuscripts by enabling access to the research outputs
prior to publication.
• Gain third-party validation of trustworthy and sustainable practices and capabilities.

FAIR-Aligned Publishers - Author Guidelines for Data
1. Deposit research data in a FAIR-aligned repository, with a preference for those that
explicitly follow the FAIR Data Principles and demonstrate compliance with international
standards for data repositories, (e.g. CoreTrustSeal).
2. A tool to assist in identifying FAIR-aligned repositories is available from DataCite and can
be found at https://repositoryfinder.datacite.org .
3. Cite and link to the data in the article, following the Joint Declaration of Data Citation
Principles and ESIP Guidelines, using the unique, resolvable, and persistent identifiers
provided by the repository in which the data are archived.
4. Include a Data Availability Statement describing how the data underlying the findings of
their article can be accessed and reused.
5. Provide unrestricted access to all data and materials underlying reported findings for
which ethical or legal constraints do not apply.
6. There may be a need to restrict some access to data because of privacy issues, IP rights,
geopolitical tensions or cultural sensitivities (e.g. indigenous land rights).
