Rurality and patients’ hospital experience: A multisite analysis from a US healthcare system is a dataset published in PLoS ONE (2024). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.208, placing it in the top 64.8% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 3 times, with 3 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 13/100.
Ranks in the top 65% 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 data used in this study belong to Mayo Clinic and can not be deposited in a public repository. The data contains patient-level information, which is potentially identifying, and therefore, can not be shared publicly. Therefore, based on Mayo Clinic policies and procedures, the corresponding author and/or team members do not have the authority to provide a partial or complete dataset publicly for other research. However, data is available upon request from the Mayo Clinic Office of Patient Experience via email ( [email protected] ), phone (844-544-0036), postal mail (Mayo Clinic Office of Patient Experience, 200 1st St. SW, Rochester, MN 55905 USA), or the Mayo Clinic website ( https://www.mayoclinic.org/about-mayo-clinic/patient-experience ), for researchers who meet the criteria for access to confidential data.”
