Genomic characterization of the C. tuberculostearicum species complex, a prominent member of the human skin microbiome is a dataset published in mSystems (2023). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.553, placing it in the top 35.3% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 18 times, with 12 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 65/100.

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.
“Genome data are deposited under the NCBI BioProjects PRJNA854648 , PRJNA694925, and PRJNA854648 (see Table S1 ).”
The paper provides BioProject accessions (PRJNA854648, PRJNA694925) which are persistent identifiers in the accepted scheme.
