Why is FAIR Data important?
As our world has continually become more digitalised, we have begun facing new challenges for a digitalised world. One of these challenges, which has gained attention over the last 6 years, is how to handle data. The ‘FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship’ were published in Scientific Data in 2016, laying out a set of principles to make sure that the large amounts of data being created every year can be found and reused by the right people to bring continual benefits to society.
