FAIRshare

FAIRshare is here to help researchers like you navigate the tricky waters of research software. It's all about making sure your work is easy to find and share, which is super important in the world of science. This initiative focuses on biomedical research data and software, following some solid guidelines so that everyone can play fair.

Making Research Software Accessible

The app really shines when it comes to curation and sharing. With FAIRshare, you get a set of guidelines that encourages fair use of research software like scripts, models, and code libraries. Getting started is simple: just hop over to the Curate & Share interface, create a new project by adding a name and description, and let the tool guide you through!

Guided Steps for Your Projects

Using FAIRshare means you'll be following the FAIR Biomedical research guidelines. The app helps keep your work on track every step of the way. You can select where your project lives and review your software development practices.

Keeping It Compliant

The app will ask if you're sticking to certain guidelines, offering helpful info along the way. You'll look at best practices for your code, make sure your documentation meets standards, and ensure everything complies with HIPAA—especially if you're working with biomedical projects!

Adding Project Metadata

Next up? Time to add some metadata for your project! You'll need to include details like the name, description, creation date, authors, contributors, category, keywords—you get the idea! Don't forget about information like programming languages used or operating systems required.

Selecting Licenses and Repositories

You can also add things like current version info or release notes if you want. Picking a license is crucial too! Choose from repositories like Zenodo or Figshare to share your software safely.

Your Software Made Findable

FAIRshare turns an ambitious idea into a powerful app that truly cares about making your software findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable—just as its name suggests!
