FAIRsharing, as a reflection of the data and standards community has been constantly evolving and adapting to provide the most accurate and appropriate information on models and formats, terminologies, reporting guidelines, identifier schema and FAIR metrics, linking them to comprehensive records on repositories and knowledgebases and to the journal and funder data policies that endorse their use.
Part of that evolution has been the refining and refreshing of our advisory board. This year is no exception. We’re delighted to announce our new Advisory Board members and structure.

How can you help?
We are always happy to receive feedback and are keen to work with the community to improve all aspects of FAIRsharing. We ask our advisory boards for advice and feedback on our strategy and development, and we also need your feedback to help us achieve that. This year, we’re completely redeveloping FAIRsharing from the bottom up (and we’ll be posting more about this soon), refactoring our code, updating our data model and recurating much of our data. As we progress, we’ll be releasing a beta version for testing and we are keen to have your input. Check out this blog over the coming months to follow our progress and look out for the opportunity to test our new site.
In the meantime, if you have any questions or queries about FAIRsharing, don’t hesitate to contact us via contact@fairsharing.org or on twitter at fairsharing_org.
