A new paper in the journal Hydrological Processes outlines 10 best practices to help water science researchers to share their data according to the findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) principles. The paper is first authored jointly by Bhaleka Persaud from the Ecohydrology Research Group (ERG) and Krysha Dukacz from McMaster University. The other authors are affiliated with the Global Water Futures (GWF) program and include Philippe Van Cappellen as well as Homa Kheyrollah Pour a former Research Associate in ERG now at Laurier University. The paper draws heavily on the efforts of GWF to improve water science data management and promote the use of common data practices and standards in Canada.
