General FAIR Data Review

Goal

Assess whether a manuscript submission or standalone code/data repository satisfies the FAIR Guiding Principles (Wilkinson et al., Sci. Data 2016). The output is a structured reviewer report — analogous to a peer-review report — that scores each FAIR sub-principle, identifies gaps, and provides concrete remediation steps the authors can act on before publication.

This skill is complementary to general-peer-review, which focuses on scientific methodology. Run both in sequence for a complete review.

Prerequisites

• A manuscript (PDF or markdown) and/or a link to a code/data repository (GitHub, Zenodo, Figshare, etc.)
• Read access to any supplementary files, Data Availability Statements (DAS), or README files provided by the authors
