Data quality has recently become a critical topic for the research community. European guidelines recommend that scientific data should be made FAIR: findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. However, as FAIR guidelines do not specify how the stated principles should be implemented, it might not be straightforward for researchers to know how actually to make their data FAIR. This can prevent life-science researchers from sharing their datasets and pipelines, ultimately hindering the progress of research. To address this difficulty, we developed the BIBBOX, which is a platform that supports researchers publishing their datasets and the associated software in a FAIR manner. • Data quality has become a critical topic for the research community. • Users can search metadata and access data if licensing allows. • Full support of FAIR principles. • BIBBOX is a toolbox that supports publishing datasets and software in a FAIR manner. • BIBBOX Apps are made FAIR through the use of a FAIR Data Point.
