| Description | Data quality has recently become a critical topic for the research community. European guidelines recommend that scientific data should be made FAIR: findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. However, as FAIR guidelines do not specify how the stated principles should be implemented, it might not be straightforward for researchers to know how actually to make their data FAIR. This can prevent life-science researchers from sharing their datasets and pipelines, ultimately hindering the progress of research. To address this difficulty, we developed the BIBBOX, which is a platform that supports researchers publishing their datasets and the associated software in a FAIR manner. |
