Respiratory virus disease and outcomes at a large academic medical center in the United States: a retrospective observational study of the early 2023/2024 respiratory viral season is a dataset published in Microbiology Spectrum (2024). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.703, placing it in the top 28.5% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 21 times, with 18 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 42/100.
Ranks in the top 28% 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 does not quote any persistent identifier string for the dataset in the text; it only references a supplementary table containing GISAID accessions.
