F1. (meta)data are assigned a globally unique and persistent identifier

F2. data are described with rich metadata (defined by R1 below)

F3. metadata clearly and explicitly include the identifier of the data it describes

F4. (meta)data are registered or indexed in a searchable resource

To be Findable:

https://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2016.18

A1. (meta)data are retrievable by their identifier using a
standardized communications protocol

A1.1 the protocol is open, free, and universally implementable

A1.2 the protocol allows for an authentication and authorization
procedure, where necessary

A2. metadata are accessible, even when the data are no longer available

To be Accessible:

https://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2016.18

I1. (meta)data use a formal, accessible, shared, and
broadly applicable language for knowledge representation.

I2. (meta)data use vocabularies that follow FAIR principles

I3. (meta)data include qualified references to other (meta)data

To be Interoperable:

https://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2016.18

R1. meta(data) are richly described with a plurality of
accurate and relevant attributes

R1.1. (meta)data are released with a clear and accessible data usage license

R1.2. (meta)data are associated with detailed provenance

R1.3. (meta)data meet domain-relevant community standards

To be Reusable:

https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-019-01307-2

They ride with what I refer to as the four horsemen of the reproducibility apocalypse:

Publication bias
Low statistical power
P-value hacking
HARKing (hypothesizing after results are known)

State of art in reproducibility

https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-0965-1

Data availability:

Domain-specific databases

CSV

FTP

Reproducibility?

Attribution

A Research Object bundles and relates digital resources of a scientific experiment or investigation:

Data used and results produced in experimental study

Methods employed to produce and analyse that data

Provenance and settings for the experiments

People involved in the investigation

Annotations about these resources, to improve understanding and interpretation
