The FAIR Data Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable), published in Scientific Data in 2016, are guiding principles set forth by a consortium of scientists and organizations to support the reusability of digital assets.

“Recent mandates by funders and governments call for sharing all research data in an effort to increase efficiencies, improve lives, accelerate the pace of discovery, and drive more equitable outcomes across every sector of society,” said Tracey Armstrong, President and CEO, CCC. “FAIR data principles emphasize machine-actionability and are essential for effective use of AI and managing the increasing volume and complexity of data.”

CCC has recently hosted virtual Town Hall discussions on “ChatGPT and Information Integrity,” “Data Directions,” and “What’s Ahead for Librarians and Researchers.”
