Produced by SCADM, ADC and Southern Ocean Observing System Data Management Sub-Committee, the guide aims to provide the polar research community with key concepts and tips to ensure the published data are FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable). The outlined principles also help ensure that data are cited and attributed correctly, enhancing the positive impact of polar research.
