FAIRification of Religious Studies data - A Practical Guide for Researchers and Data Providers
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This guide is written for Religious Studies researchers, librarians, archivists, collection managers, and doctoral students. It explains what FAIR means and what you need to do, step by step, to make your data FAIR the guide assumes no prior familiarity with data management software or metadata standards. Where technical terms are unavoidable, they are introduced gently and translated into the language of everyday scholarly practice — catalogues, citations, permissions, versions of a text. The emphasis throughout is on understanding, not on box-ticking. A colleague who reads the guide from beginning to end should come away with a clear mental picture of why FAIR matters for the discipline, and what a simple, repeatable workflow for making religious studies data FAIR looks like.
