MicrO in FAIRsharing

[allysonlister]

Dear Dr Blank and the MicrO Team,

I’m contacting you on behalf of FAIRsharing[1], the online registry of scientific data standards, databases and policies. Our aim is to make your resource as visible as possible to as large an audience as possible. We have emailed you a few times since July via [email protected] but have not yet had a response.

We have a FAIRsharing record for your resource[2]. To ensure our information is as correct and up to date as possible, would you or someone from your team quickly scan the record[2] and ‘claim’ it? (To claim, see link [3] below.) In addition, if the resource is no longer in use and should be deprecated, then we can represent that information as well. If we don't hear back from you in the next couple of weeks, we will mark the resource as Uncertain within FAIRsharing.

Claiming a record as either a group/institution or an individual also gives you the opportunity to make changes to the record yourself, allowing you complete control over how your resource is displayed in FAIRsharing. In addition, if you claim a record(s) as an individual, you can link the record to your ORCID.

FAIRsharing is about making your resource discoverable to a variety of users, such as journals and publishers, researchers and service providers, research and infrastructure projects and programmes, as well as curators, librarians, funders and other policy makers and data scientists[4]. A contact is essential should they have any questions about your resource.

Best wishes,
Allyson

Dear MicrO Team,

As we have not had a response, we will be marking the MicrO FAIRsharing record as Uncertain. This status reflects the fact that we have not heard from the MicrO developers and are therefore unsure of its current state. Please get in contact with us either through this issue or at [email protected] to update the record and ensure that FAIRsharing users see an accurate representation of your resource.

Thank you and best wishes,
Allyson
