Step 5: Sharing

Recommendations for Users

The accessibility and reusability of the research data are the key elements of FAIR principles. To ensure the beneficial utilization of research data by third parties, a systematic and criterion-based selection process is essential:

  • Research data should be stored for up to 10 years as part of good scientific practice.
  • Use persistent identifier (PID) to make your data findable (DOI, ORCID).
  • Use open-source repositories (e.g. Zenodo, Figshare, Re3Data…).
  • If possible use open file formats for long-term data storage. They are independent of the manufacturer and can be used with different programs.
