To make research data findable, publish the data (or a metadata-only record) with as much as muchResearch metadata as possible. Most research data publishing platforms (including the University's Institutional Figshare ) provide you with a persistent identifier, such as a , which you can then use to cite or share the work.

To make research data accessible, ensure it can be downloaded over the internet from the publishing platform it is hosted on. Consider using a publishing platform that supports API access to make it easier for machines and databases to harvest the research data or it's metadata.

To make research data interoperable, use community-accepted languages, and in the data and metadata. Metadata should reference and describe relationships to other data, metadata and information through the use of .

To make research data reusable, it should come with a clear human and machine-readable and information on how it was collected or generated. It should also abide by discipline-specific data and metadata standards where possible, to ensure it retains important context.

The FAIR principles can complement the CARE and M膩ori Data Sovereignty principles by encouraging the consideration of both people and purpose.

Practical steps for working with FAIR, CARE and M膩ori Data Sovereignty as complementary data principles

1. Publish a description or metadata-only record of research data in a data repository (e.g. Institutional Figshare ) with citable (DOI). This enables others to discover and understand the applicability of the research data. Consider a meaningful name (e.g. avoid 'Thesis data'), appropriate metadata, and providing a sample of the data, actual or synthetic.
2. Establish and maintain a mediated access process (e.g,. email request or form) linked to the publish description. This process should follow agreed governance processes and ideally, take a people and purpose-oriented approach to granting access.
3. Create a data sharing agreement to define and record who the data is shared with, for what purpose, under what conditions (e.g. method of transfer, security requirements) and by whose authority (governance). Dropbox for Researchers and the Projects feature may be useful for storing agreements and sharing files with named individuals.
4. Produce a data availability statement within the publication (e.g. journal article, thesis) linking to the description, possibly referencing the mediated access process and alignment with FAIR, CARE and M膩ori Data Sovereignty data principles.
