FAIR Data Principles

FAIR Data Principles are guidelines to make data more useful and accessible for everyone. They stand for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. This means data should be easy to locate with clear descriptions, available for access under proper conditions, compatible with other data systems, and usable in multiple contexts. Following these principles helps researchers, organizations, and the public share knowledge efficiently, avoid duplicate efforts, and build on each other’s work, ultimately advancing science and decision-making.
