FAIRsharing<p>Happy New Year! As we move into 2025, I'd like to celebrate the work of our <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fediscience.org/@fairsharing" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>fairsharing</span></a></span> maintainers and <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/FAIRsharingCommunityChampions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FAIRsharingCommunityChampions</span></a> over the last year, and welcome our newest Champions :-)</p><p>Firstly, a particular congratulations to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fediscience.org/@lnanderscience" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>lnanderscience</span></a></span> and <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/KayBurrows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KayBurrows</span></a> for being our Top Contributors for 2024!</p><p>In 2024, our Champions made over 2100 edits, updated 325 records and added 64 new records. Averaged over the year, that’s more than 40 edits, 6 updated records and 1 new record each week! Additionally, 241 maintainers (many of whom visited their record multiple times) made over 2000 edits.</p><p>Our focus over the past year was on updating all records in the <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/policy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>policy</span></a> and <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/database" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>database</span></a> registries, which is consistent with the large increases you see in updated records in 2024 in the image below. Collaborations also helped increase our coverage, such as the one with <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/JoyDavidson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JoyDavidson</span></a> from the DCC, who led a <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://bird.makeup/users/fairimpact_eu" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>fairimpact_eu</span></a></span> support action which added both more European institutional and funder policies to our registry but also Champions to our programme (such as <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ClaraParenteBoavida" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClaraParenteBoavida</span></a>).</p><p>We have many exciting things planned for 2025 with and for our community, including (but not limited to) our work with our TIER2 Project and OSTrails colleagues! </p><p>Do you have a thought about how <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/FAIRsharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FAIRsharing</span></a> could help your community?
