Sharing Begins at Home: How Continuous and Ubiquitous FAIRness Can Enhance Research Productivity and Data Reuse.

ABSTRACT: The broad sharing of research data is widely viewed as critical for the speed, quality, accessibility, and integrity of science. Despite increasing efforts to encourage data sharing, both the quality of shared data and the frequency of data reuse remain stubbornly low. We argue here that a significant reason for this unfortunate state of affairs is that the organization of research results in the findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) form required for reuse is too often deferred to the end of a research project when preparing publications-by which time essential details are no longer accessible. Thus, we propose an approach to research informatics in which FAIR principles are applied continuously, from the inception of a research project and ubiquitously, t
