SA-Score: Measuring Data Sharing Effort through the Lens of Open Science and the FAIR Principles
This is a submission to the S-Index Challenge for Phase 1, hosted by NIH. This submission was developed by a team of 50+ data experts from leading research institutions, government agencies, and global organizations—including NASA, NIST, the University of California, JHU, MIT, AGU, and the Allen Institute. We span a broad range of disciplines including biohealth, earth, environment, atmospheric, ocean, computer science, chemistry, law, information science, materials, humanities, and economics. Our combined experience includes leadership in developing and implementing data infrastructures, Persistent Identifiers (PIDs), and metadata standards; advancing the FAIR principles; and shaping data sharing policy through global initiatives like the Research Data Alliance, FORCE11, and the Research Software Alliance. Interdisciplinary composition and demonstrated leadership positions this team as the ideal collaborative body to design comprehensive, scalable, and sustainable data (and digital object) sharing solutions that meet the challenges of the 21st century.
