FAIR Data

FAIR data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. To learn more about the collection and curation of FAIR data see the ARDC website. Here you can find a self assessment tool. (Publications about FAIR data are also included below.)

Project Reports

Project reports, presentations and documentation for FAIMS 3.0 can be found on our Zenodo and OSF pages.

FAIMS Project Bibliography

This bibliography is rendered from two public Zotero libraries: FAIMS-publications, for publications by the FAIMS team and work that cites or mentions FAIMS, and FAIMS-Project, for other useful material. You can browse by type or year, or search all citations. Please note the search is case sensitive.
