Announcing a joint effort to improve research transparency: FAIRSharing and TOP Guidelines
FAIRsharing (an ELIXIR-UK Resource) and the Center for Open Science aim to advance and enable open and FAIR research and are happy to announce an effort to jointly achieve their shared goals.
FAIRsharing and the Transparency and Openness Promotion Guidelines (TOP) are two community efforts that aim to increase the number of journal and research funder policies that effectively incentivize data sharing, among other goals. Based at the University of Oxford in the UK, FAIRsharing is a curated, informative and educational resource on data and metadata standards, repositories and data policies, and the relationships between them.
