Implementing FAIR Workflows: A Proof of Concept Study in the Field of Consciousness is a 3-year project funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation. In this project, DataCite works with a number of partners on providing an exemplar workflow that can be used by researchers to implement FAIR practices throughout their research lifecycle. In this monthly blog series, the different project participants will share perspectives on FAIR practices and recommendations. In this first blog post, we hear from Zefan Zheng, who is doing his Ph.D. at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics and is responsible for the neuroscience experiments in the project.
