FAIR-BioRS: Actionable guidelines for making biomedical research software FAIR
Year: 2023
Type: other
Abstract: We present the first actionable guidelines for making biomedical research software Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) in line with the FAIR principles for Research Software (FAIR4RS principles). The FAIR4RS principles are the outcome of a large-scale global initiative to adapt the FAIR data principles to research software. They provide a framework for optimizing the reusability of research software and encourage open science. The FAIR4RS principles are, however, aspirational. Practical guidelines that biomedical researchers can easily follow for making their research software FAIR are lacking. To fill this gap, we established the first minimal and actionable guidelines that researchers can follow to easily make their biomedical research software FAIR. We designate these guidelines as the FAIR Biomedical Research Software (FAIR-BioRS) guidelines. The guidelines provide actionable step-by-step instructions that clearly specify relevant standards, best practices, metadata, and sharing platforms to use. We present here our approach to establishing these guidelines.
