Ten simple rules for starting FAIR discussions in your community

by Fr édérique Belliard, Angelica Maria Maineri, Esther Plomp, Andrés Felipe Ramos Padilla, Junzi Sun, Maryam Zare Jeddi

This work presents 10 rules that provide guidance and recommendations on how to start up discussions around the implementation of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles and creation of standardised ways of working. These recommendations will be particularly relevant if you are unsure where to start, who to involve, what the benefits and barriers of standardisation are, and if little work has been done in your discipline to standardise research workflows. When applied, these rules will support a more effective way of engaging the community with discussions on standardisation and practical implementation of the FAIR principles.
