Metadata Quality (FAIR Principles)

IP

IPSUMTEC JOURNAL is committed to the highest quality standards in the management of scientific metadata. As part of this commitment, the journal periodically submits its bibliographic records to evaluations based on the FAIR principles, an international framework that ensures research data and metadata meet the following criteria:

  • Findable: The metadata of all articles published in IPSUMTEC include persistent identifiers and are registered in international search systems, ensuring their discovery by researchers, databases, and academic search engines worldwide.

  • Accessible: The metadata are retrievable through open and standardized protocols, including the OAI-PMH interoperability protocol, without technical or economic barriers to access.

  • Interoperable: The metadata employ internationally recognized vocabularies and schemas, enabling seamless integration with bibliographic systems, repositories, and global indexing platforms.

  • Reusable: The metadata include sufficient information on licenses, authorship, and provenance to ensure their proper reuse by the international scientific community.

Most Recent FAIR Evaluation Results

The evaluation was conducted on an aggregate of 30 records via the OAI-PMH protocol, in accordance with the 14 FAIR sub-principles, where each criterion can receive a full score (1), partial score (0.5), or no score (0).

Overall score achieved: 86%
