The Relationship Between Anxiety, Depression and Cognitive Functioning in Older Adults: An Exploratory Cross‐Sectional Analysis of Wave 1 Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 Data is a dataset published in International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry (2024). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.286, placing it in the top 56.4% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 4 times, with 4 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 8/100.
Ranks in the top 56% for downstream scientific impact
DataRank reads this dataset's downstream impact straight off the citation graph — no black box, no proprietary weighting. How is this computed?
FAIR checklist signals are shown for context only and do not affect DataRank scoring.
Full FAIR picture · advisory
The headline score is computed from the scored criteria — the fact-shaped checks (a repository, an accession, a licence) that two independent models agree on. The advisory criteria below are real FAIR guidance but rest on judgment calls that models read differently, so they inform without moving the number.
The paper does not provide any persistent identifier for its own dataset; it uses existing LBC1936 data without a PID for the analyzed subset. [majority verdict 'no' (4/5 passes agreed)]
