In this article, we look back at two decades of FAIR principles, share insights from a survey of CT researchers, and discuss practical steps to improve CT data access and reuse, like metadata schemas and persistent identifiers (PIDs).

Our work in NoCTURN explores how applying FAIR principles—Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability—can break down barriers created by proprietary software and siloed workflows.

The session explores vertebrate paleobiogeography & ecosystem dynamics in Campanian Laramidia- from endemism & provincialism to Western Interior Seaway dynamics & emerging geochronologic frameworks. If your research involves Cretaceous evolution, ecology, or stratigraphy we want to hear from you!
