Associations of Maternal Stress, Prenatal Exposure to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), and Demographic Risk Factors with Birth Outcomes and Offspring Neurodevelopment: An Overview of the ECHO.CA.IL Prospective Birth Cohorts is a dataset published in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (2021). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 1.2, placing it in the top 17.5% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 57 times, with 23 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 13/100.
Ranks in the top 17% 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 any persistent identifier (DOI, Handle, ARK, URN, or repository accession) for its own dataset.

“Data Availability Statement The sharing of anonymized data from this study is restricted due to ethical and legal restrictions. Data contains sensitive personal health information, which is protected under Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), thus making all data requests subject to Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval. Per University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) IRB, the data that support the findings of this study are restricted for transmission to those outside the primary investigative team. Data sharing with investigators outside the team requires IRB approval. Data requests may be submitted to the Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment (PRHE) by contacting Lynn Harvey at [email protected] . All requests for anonymized data will be reviewed by PRHE and then submitted to the UCSF IRB for approval.”
The data availability statement exists and points to a person/process (request to PRHE and IRB approval), which corresponds to Colavizza category 1 (data available on request).
