A tool for assessing alignment of biomedical data repositories with open, FAIR, citation and trustworthy principles.

Increasing attention is being paid to the operation of biomedical data repositories in light of efforts to improve how scientific data is handled and made available for the long term. Multiple groups have produced recommendations for functions that biomedical repositories should support, with many u...
