Ranks in the top 78% for downstream scientific impact
Linked data & code
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.
“All annotation results are available from the FusionPub website ( https://compbio.uth.edu/FusionPub ).”
The only identifier given for the dataset is a URL that is not a DOI, Handle, ARK, URN, or repository accession; it is a web address (class 2). [majority verdict 'partial' (4/5 passes agreed)]
