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 assemblies have been deposited in the NCBI GenBank repository under the BioProject accession numbers in Table 1 , including links to the primary data and annotations ( PRJNA50303 , PRJNA50301 , PRJNA192717 , PRJNA192712 , PRJNA192710 , PRJNA169676 , PRJNA169673 , PRJNA165955 , PRJNA165959 , PRJNA192711 , PRJNA192703 , PRJNA165953 , and PRJNA165885 ).”
The paper provides BioProject accession numbers (PRJNA...), which are persistent identifiers in a repository accession scheme recognised by the criteria. [majority verdict 'yes' (4/5 passes agreed)]
