FAIR Compliance Dashboard

Check the FAIRness of your software

This issue is your repository's dashboard for all things FAIR. Keep it open as making and keeping software FAIR is a continuous process that evolves along with the software. You can read the documentation to learn more.

README ✔️

A README.md file was found at within your repository.

LICENSE ✔️

A LICENSE file is found at the root level of the repository.

Metadata ✔️

A CITATION.cff and codemeta.json file are found in the repository. They may need to be updated over time as new people are contributing to the software, etc.

File	Status	Message
CITATION.cff	✅ Valid	Citation metadata are valid according to schema version 1.2.0.
codemeta.json	✅ Valid	Codemeta is valid according to schema v3.0

FAIR Software Release ❌

To make your software FAIR, it is necessary to archive it in an archival repository like Zenodo every time you make a release. When you are ready to make your first release, click the "Create release" button below to easily create a FAIR release where your metadata files are updated (including with a DOI) before creating a GitHub release and archiving it on Zenodo.

Additional Recommendations

Although these files are not part of the core FAIR compliance checks, Codefair recommends including them to improve project governance, community engagement, and contributor experience:

CONTRIBUTING.md ✔️

This file helps communicate contribution processes and gives contributors clear guidelines placed at the repo root (or in docs/ or .github/), saving time and reducing rework. It surfaces automatically on pull requests, issues, and the repository's Contribute page to guide contributors at every step.

CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md ❗

Defines clear standards for respectful engagement and shows a welcoming, inclusive community by outlining expectations and procedures for handling abuse. When placed at the repo root (or in docs/ or .github/), CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md surfaces in the repository's community profile and contributor pages to guide behavior at every step.

PLEASE NOTE: deleting this issue will require reinstalling the Codefair GitHub App, but closing the issue will allow you to restore the FAIR Compliance Dashboard by reopening the issue.}

Start with the linked Codefair dashboard documentation and review the repository-status sections in this issue, especially the missing CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md recommendation. The issue is an automated compliance dashboard rather than a defined change; a contribution would need an explicit file, scope, and completion criterion before work can begin.
