FAIR Software
FAIR Software
While originally targetting data management, the FAIR for Research Software (FAIR4RS) extends the FAIR principles to research software, which, unlike data, is executable and evolves over time. Ensuring the findability of software involves metadata, identifiers, and version control systems, while accessibility includes guidelines for obtaining, installing, and running the software. Interoperability involves adherence to community-driven standards or protocols, and reusability requires detailed documentation and user guides to effectively apply the software in new research projects.
