Cognitive stimulation in the workplace, plasma proteins, and risk of dementia: three analyses of population cohort studies is a dataset published in BMJ (2021). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 2.4, placing it in the top 9% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 97 times, with 87 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 15/100.
Ranks in the top 9% 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 provide a persistent identifier for its own dataset; no PID scheme string is given.

The data availability statement points to a request-based process (Colavizza category 1), which is a partial artefact. [majority verdict 'partial' (3/5 passes agreed)]

The data availability statement describes the action of submitting a request to a steering committee, from which the access level must be inferred, but does not provide an explicit access-level label.
