FAIR, an acronym for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable, represents a set of guidelines designed to enhance the usability and reusability of data, particularly in scientific data management and stewardship.
Abegunrin noted that the FAIR Guiding Principles for Scientific Data Management and Stewardship were published in Scientific Data in 2016, emphasising that their importance cannot be overstated.
He urged stakeholders to embrace these principles to ensure that data is managed and utilised effectively, driving progress and innovation in Nigeria.
“FAIR data is not just a technical requirement; it is a fundamental pillar for ensuring that data serves the public good,” Abegunrin stated.
He elaborated on the significance of each aspect of FAIR data, starting with findability.
