FAIR Paper: Applying FAIR to Academic Publishing

Abstract

The FAIR principles have a significant and lasting impact on the way in which research is performed in the Digital Humanities. However, the FAIR principles have not yet significantly impacted the way in which research papers are published and disseminated. This paper describes a new approach towards academic publishing called ‘FAIR Paper’. A FAIR Paper is an academic publication that lives on the Web, uses open standards, and is completely reproducible. We report on our findings based on an early Proof-of-Concept implementation of the FAIR Paper concept.
