What Research Project Metadata Should be Captured to Support FAIR and Open Science Principles?
To support FAIR and Open Science principles, research projects must capture metadata across three categories: descriptive (e.g., title, keywords), administrative (e.g., funding, ethics), and technical (e.g., file formats, tools). Structured metadata makes research discoverable, accessible, ethical, and reusable—extending its value. Tools like myLaminin streamline this through integrated metadata capture and research data management.
