FAIR, CARE, & TRUST Principles
The FAIR acronym and principles were defined in a March 2016 paper in the journal Scientific Data by a consortium of scientists and organizations
Wilkinson et al. (2016) established the guidelines to improve the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse (FAIR) of digital assets for research.
Carroll et al. (2020) established the CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance.
Lin et al. (2020) created the TRUST pinciples for digital repositories.
