FAIRsharing Fig2. Standards implemented and recommended.

The total number of reporting guidelines, models/formats and terminologies, and the top three from each type, implemented by databases and repositories and recommended by journals and publishers’ data policies.<br

BioSharing survey

BioSharing 10-question survey to gather users’ views on which features and content they need to make informed decisions, e.g. on how to best select standards and understand their maturity, or to find the databases that implement them.<div><br></div

TABLE 1. The top ten metadata standards more accessed during 2016.

The top ten standards more accessed during 2016. This rank, however, shows no direct correlation with their level of adoption (by journals and databases’ data policies, databases and repositories), and it probably reflects the activity of their community, in the case those in development, and their popularity within their direct domain.<br

FAIRsharing Fig1. The number of metadata standards within each type.

The number of standards, as of Dec 2017; 575 of which are specific to the life, agricultural, environmental, biomedical and health sciences, and 30 are generic and multi-disciplinary. Indicators show the status in their life cycle: ‘Ready’ for use, ‘In Development’, ‘Uncertain’ when any attempt to reach out to the developing community has failed, and ‘Deprecated’ when available the reason is detailed in the deprecated record.<br

NIH BD2K workshop report: "Frameworks for Community-based Standards Efforts"

In order to gain a clearer understanding of community-driven standardization efforts and how NIH might best<br>relate to them, BD2K held a workshop on Frameworks for Community-based Standards Efforts in<br>September 2013. This report - authored by the lead organizers and co-chairs of this workshop - elaborate on the findings,<br>indicating directions that would help move forward the BD2K vision to allow data and other digital<br>research products to interact and work with each other

From theory to practice: Case studies and commentary from libraries, publishers, funders and industry

From theory to practice: Case studies and commentary from libraries, publishers, funders and industry has been published by Digital Science, Figshare and Springer Nature, following on from the release of their State of Open Data Report 2023 and its key recommendations. From theory to practice is the first time in the nine-year history of The State of Open Data that a supplementary publication has expanded upon the main report’s years of survey results about open data, involving tens of thousands of researchers globally.Each case study and commentary is told from the perspective of a research stakeholder group:Funding bodies: The NIH Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative: meeting community needs for FAIR data sharing and discoveryScholarly Publishers: Operationalize data policies through collaborative approaches – the momentum is nowUniversity Libraries: One size does not fit all: an investigation into how institutional libraries are tailoring support to their researchers’ needsIndustry: How Open Pharma supports responsible data sharing for pharma research publications.</p
