On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.754, placing it in the top 26.7% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 23 times, with 20 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 4/100.
Ranks in the top 27% 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.
No persistent identifier (DOI, Handle, ARK, or repository accession) is assigned to the dataset itself; the paper's DOI 10.1111/add.16596 identifies the article, not the data.

“Deidentified study data may be made available on request to researchers who submit a proposal that is approved by the principal investigator. Proposals should be submitted to David Hammond ([email protected]).”
The data-availability statement exists and points to a person (the principal investigator) rather than a repository record, corresponding to Colavizza category 1 (data available on request).

“Deidentified study data may be made available on request to researchers who submit a proposal that is approved by the principal investigator.”
The data are offered only through a discretionary request to the authors, which is not a followable access route; the instruction explicitly classifies 'available from the corresponding author on reasonable request' as class 3 (no). [majority verdict 'no' (4/5 passes agreed)]
