This article by The Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship discusses challenges and guidelines to creating and using fair data which is accessible and usable by different groups of people. The article lays out a general guideline  using the acronym FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable. These facets are then explained in deeper detail in the article, allowing people who are not very educated on the use of data to better understand what these guidelines mean and how they are connected. In RC’s response to this article, they said “if all data work/collection follows universal standards it would greatly increase ease of use for every part involved.” The student explained the overall objective of this article and these guidelines very well. Although this quote is much easier said than done, this article and thinking like this are a start.
