On the evolving portfolio of community-standards and data sharing policies: turning challenges into new opportunities is a dataset published in GigaScience (2012). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 1.2, placing it in the top 40.1% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 13 times, with 10 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 20/100.
There are thousands of biology databases with hundreds of terminologies, reporting guidelines, representations models, and exchange formats to help annotate, report, and share bioscience investigations. It is evident, however, that researchers and bioinformaticians struggle to navigate the various standards and to find the appropriate database to collect, manage, and share data. Further, policy makers, funders, and publishers lack sufficient information to formulate their guidelines. In this paper, we highlight a number of key issues that can be used to turn these challenges into new opportunities. It is time for all stakeholders to work together to reconcile cause and effect and make the data-sharing culture functional and efficient.

Base Score Contribution
0.396
From this paper's citation signal
Citation Network Contribution
0.820
From 8 citing papers with measurable signal
Ranked by citation count — the same ordering the engine uses when summing log1p(Cq) over citers.
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 33% comes from its base citations and 67% from the citation network (8 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
