Is data sharing in LCA FAIR

Data for Setac Abstract - In the light of rising awareness, and growing need of better data management across disciplines, it is pertinent to investigate how the FAIR principles are utilized in the LCA domain. The purpose of this research is to investigate the status quo of data sharing by LCA practitioners. This study will look into data shared in relation to research outputs (e.g. peer reviewed articles). The life cycle inventory (LCI) is the most common data that is re-used, hence this study investigates how the LCI is shared in peer reviewed articles. A review of the findability, accessibility, interoperability and re-usability of the LCI data of 25 peer reviewed articles was performed. This study highlights although there is growing awareness on the importance of data sharing , the lack of a clear guidelines within the LCA domain as well as limited infrastructure is a major barrier in implementing FAIR principles. Research data sharing is beyond the sole responsibility of individual researchers. The overall research and funding infrastructure must consider the diversity of practices, differences in fields, facilitate the sharing of a broad range of research outputs. Current gaps in academic data sharing can be seen as opportunities to build a common framework

Setac摘要数据集——随着跨学科领域数据管理意识的提升与精细化管理需求的日益增长，探究FAIR原则（Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable）在生命周期评估（Life Cycle Assessment, LCA）领域的应用现状具有重要现实意义。本研究旨在调研生命周期评估从业者的数据共享现状，将聚焦与研究产出（如同行评议论文）相关的共享数据。生命周期清单（Life Cycle Inventory, LCI）是最常被复用的数据类型，因此本研究重点探讨同行评议论文中生命周期清单数据的共享模式。研究人员对25篇同行评议论文中的生命周期清单数据的可发现性、可访问性、互操作性与可复用性开展了系统性综述与评估。本研究表明，尽管学界对数据共享重要性的认知不断提升，但生命周期评估领域缺乏统一明确的指导规范，且配套基础设施不足，这成为落实FAIR原则的主要阻碍。研究数据共享绝非仅依赖个体研究人员的责任范畴，整体科研与资助基础设施应充分考量实践模式的多样性与学科间的差异，助力各类研究产出的共享流通。当前学术数据共享存在的短板，可转化为构建统一共享框架的发展契机。
