Publication: The need to implement FAIR principles in biomolecular simulations
Our article, The need to implement FAIR principles in biomolecular simulations, has now been peer-reviewed and published in Nature Methods!
Originally shared as an open letter on Arxiv (link) and signed by over 120 researchers from around the world, this work highlights the molecular dynamics community’s consensus on the importance of adopting the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles for molecular simulations. Following the example set by data archiving efforts in structural biology and genomics, this approach will greatly improve reproducibility, enable meta-analyses, and support the growing role of artificial intelligence in scientific discovery.
The article also outlines ongoing efforts and presents a roadmap for developing sustainable, cost-effective data storage solutions. This initiative has the potential to democratise research, enhance collaboration, and accelerate progress in life sciences.
