The RDA Scholarly Publishing community is interested in developing guidelines for Availability Statements for digital objects, specifically data. In short, Availability Statements in scholarly publications could be more structured and FAIR. Through this work we will review the status of current guidance, what authors are providing, and the gap with desired outcomes. The desired outcome is a recommendation on guidelines for  journals, authors, publishing staff, editors, peer-reviewers, standards, and machine readable infrastructure.

TBD

FAIR research software skills and training curriculums need to be identified and incorporated into broader efforts to facilitate increased support and recognition for the qualified personnel needed to achieve open science.

It is the objective of this group to i) discuss the nature of information ii) characterize the variant concepts in different fields and iii) evaluate to conequences for research data management.
