Session Description:
Repositories, publishers, and funders in Earth, Space, and Environmental Sciences have all acknowledged the importance of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable) data guidelines for the advancement of science. Many researchers hesitate to invest their limited time and resources into meeting the FAIR principles, as credit for the effort involved is often not obvious nor explicit. Traditionally, credit for scientific output has primarily been based on the publication alone, and not on other valuable research outputs such as data, software and physical samples. Funders and institutions could help change the culture around making data and other research outputs FAIR by using appropriate incentives to recognize the value of discoverable, well-documented, research output that supports transparency and reproducibility of science.
This panel will bring together diverse stakeholders to discuss how credit mechanisms could evolve to acknowledge efforts involved in making data and other supporting research artifacts FAIR.
