How to operationalize and to evaluate the FAIRness in the crediting and rewarding processes in data sharing

In order to foster data sharing, the RDA-SHARC (SHAring Rewards & Credit) interest group has been set up to unpack and improve crediting and rewarding mechanisms in the data/resources sharing process. As part of the objectives, two assessment grids are being developed using criteria to establish if data are compliant to the F.A.I.R principles (findable /accessible / interoperable / reusable). The criteria used are based on the work from FORCE 11*, and on the basis of the Open Science Career Assessment Matrix designed by the EC Working group on Rewards under Open science.
