Dear Researcher,
I'm contacting you on behalf of FAIRsharing[1],the online registry of scientific data standards, databases and policies. One of our main aims is to make your resource visible to as large an audience as possible.

Happy 9th Anniversary to your FAIRsharing record[2] for VFB! To ensure our information is as correct and up to date as possible, would you or someone from your team quickly scan the record[2] and 'claim' it? (To claim, see link [3] below.)

Claiming a record as either a group or an individual gives you the opportunity to make changes to the record yourself, allowing you complete control over how your resource is displayed in FAIRsharing. Maintainers are also notified if our curation team edits the record, if users ask questions, or if the record is linked from another record, such as from a journal publisher data policy. In addition, if you claim a record(s) as an individual, you can link the record to your ORCID. As long as you update your record at least once per year, then you will receive an annual "Annotation" work within your ORCID profile[4] as part of how we attribute you.

Please give your record a general review now, checking existing details and adding any relevant new information.

  • Your record is linked to 1 database and 3 standards. Find out more by exploring your record's relationship graph[3]!
  • There are 3 publications linked to your record. Do you have one or more publications that should be used to cite your resource? You can also mark one or more publications as the ones to use when citing your resource.
  • Your record contains 18 completed fields, but there is other metadata that you can add that could improve the findability of your resource for your community. Please check and update your record metadata, as appropriate for your community's needs.

In summary, please could you visit your record[2] and give it an annual "check-up" using our handy guide[6]? FAIRsharing is about making your resource discoverable to a variety of users, such as journals and publishers, researchers and service providers, research and infrastructure projects and programmes, as well as curators, librarians, funders and other policy makers and data scientists[7].

Please reply to this email if you have any questions.

Thank you and best wishes,
The FAIRsharing Team
