Complex portal 2025: predicted human complexes and enhanced visualisation tools for the comparison of orthologous and paralogous complexes is a dataset published in Nucleic Acids Research (2024). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.699, placing it in the top 28.6% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 31 times, with 27 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 71/100.
Ranks in the top 29% 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.
“Data can be accessed either via our ftp site ( ftp.ebi.ac.uk/ pub/ databases/ intact/ complex/ current/) or our REST API ( https://www.ebi.ac.uk/intact/ complex-ws/).”
The paper gives a URL (FTP) and a REST API as the data location, not a persistent identifier scheme such as DOI or Handle.
