Summary:
"This report investigates the meaning and (potential) impact of the FAIR data principles in practice. These principles were established by a group of diverse stakeholders engaging via a working group in FORCE11. They are referenced in many policy documents and in developments of open science, for example, the European Open Science Cloud. This report explored FAIR with stakeholders in the UK academic research community. Its aims were to understand how using or being inspired by these principles improves the findability, accessibility, interoperability and reuse of research data, including consideration of disciplinary differences. Jisc established a group of research data experts and Jisc staff who provided expertise and helped to validate findings. Interviews and focus groups were conducted, primarily with researchers, but also involving input from research support professionals, publishers and funders...."
