FAIRsharing record for: FAIR Metric – F2 - Metadata – has publisher information

This FAIRsharing record describes: ### What is being measured?

This metric evaluates whether the metadata includes explicit information regarding the organisation responsible for publishing the metadata record. It looks for a structured "publisher" field within the record. In the context of an institutional repository, this is typically the institution itself, or an external repository (like Zenodo) if the record is registering an object hosted elsewhere. The metric will fail if this value is not present.

### Why should we measure it?

Publisher information is a discovery attribute that allows users and machines to filter resources by their "home" or source of authority, and to group resources based on their point of origin.
