A Decade of Progress: Open Data Practices in Bioscience at the University of Edinburgh

General Information:

This reposotory contains the outcomes of a project executed at the Biosciences Institutes of the University of Edinburgh. This research project assesses the openness and FAIRness (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) of data linked to publications from these institutes. Here, you will find datasets, analytical codes, and figures that detail our project’s methodology and results aiming to enhance data-sharing practices and promote the adherence to FAIR principles within and beyond our community.
