TISMO: syngeneic mouse tumor database to model tumor immunity and immunotherapy response is a dataset published in Nucleic Acids Research (2021). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 3.1, placing it in the top 7.1% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 135 times, with 100 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 50/100.
Ranks in the top 7% 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 gives a web URL as the location of the data, which is not a persistent identifier scheme (DOI, Handle, ARK, URN, or repository accession).

“TISMO is available at http://tismo.cistrome.org to all users without restrictions. Annotated mouse syngeneic metadata are available on the website. All expression data and immune infiltration estimation can be downloaded from the data download page.”
The statement points to a website URL, not a repository record with an accession or DOI, classifying it as a link to archived data in a non-repository host.

“TISMO is available at http://tismo.cistrome.org to all users without restrictions.”
The paper explicitly states that the data are accessible without restrictions, which is a natural-language equivalent of 'open access'.
