Metadata profiles and documentation templates
This category brings together metadata profiles, README templates, DMP templates, citation templates and FAIR checklists used to prepare materials science datasets for documentation, publication, citation and reuse. These resources support computational, experimental and mixed research workflows and help users prepare repository-ready data packages.
Computational materials dataset profile
Minimum metadata profile for computational materials datasets, including material system, software, workflow, input parameters, calculation settings, output files, provenance links and repository deposit requirements.
Type: Metadata profile
Experimental materials characterization profile
Minimum metadata profile for experimental materials characterization datasets, including sample description, method, instrument, measurement conditions, raw and processed data, calibration information and provenance links.
Type: Metadata profile
Technology/process dataset profile
Metadata profile for technology and process-oriented datasets, including process parameters, materials, equipment, experimental or simulation conditions, measured outputs, documentation and reuse requirements.
Type: Metadata profile
README template for computational materials datasets
README template for documenting computational materials datasets, including workflow description, software versions, input and output files, parameters, provenance, authorship, licence and repository information.
Type: Documentation template
README template for experimental materials datasets
README template for documenting experimental materials datasets, including sample preparation, measurement method, instrument settings, raw and processed files, calibration notes, data quality and reuse information.
Type: Documentation template
DMP template for RI users
Data management plan template for RI users preparing computational, experimental or mixed materials science datasets for controlled storage, documentation, publication and reuse.
Type: DMP template
Metadata checklist for materials datasets
Checklist for verifying whether a materials science dataset contains the minimum metadata needed for interpretation, validation, repository deposit, citation and future reuse.
Type: FAIR checklist
Dataset citation and acknowledgement template
Template for citing datasets, acknowledging RI services, facilities, software, workflows and data support activities used in preparing research outputs.
Type: Citation template
FAIR checklist for materials datasets
Checklist for assessing whether a materials science dataset is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable, with attention to metadata, identifiers, licences, provenance and repository deposit.
