An examination of scientific data repositories, data reusability, and the incorporation of FAIR

Scientific data repositories (SDRs) provide a way for scientists to share data through data deposition and reuse of deposited data. Over the last twenty-plus years, hundreds of scientific SDRs have become available. This research examines 132 SDRs. This study assesses if the information available in the SDRs aligned with what scientists need to determine data reusability and if the SDRs enforce FAIR principles
