Ranks in the top 42% for downstream scientific impact
Linked data & code
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 mentions BioProject accession PRJNA294416 for the source dataset, but this is not the study's own data. No persistent identifier is given for the study's own derived results. [majority verdict 'no' (4/5 passes agreed)]

The only data-availability statement in the paper points to the source dataset (BioProject PRJNA294416), not to the study's own derived data (the supplementary tables and analysis results). Thus, for the study's own data, no statement exists. [majority verdict 'no' (4/5 passes agreed)]

“We obtained 27 plasmid sequences that did not encode for a VF (Supplementary Table S3).”

The paper does not apply an explicit access-level label (e.g., 'open access', 'publicly available') to the study's own data (the supplementary tables and derived results). The article's open-access banner applies to the article itself, not to the data as a separate artefact. [majority verdict 'no' (4/5 passes agreed)]
