The Annual Indicator Monitoring and Periodic Review Processes: ELIXIR Core Data Resources and Deposition Databases

In establishing the list of ELIXIR Core Data Resources ( https://elixir-europe.org/platforms/data/core-data-resources ) and the list of ELIXIR Deposition Databases ( https://elixir-europe.org/platforms/data/elixir-deposition-databases ), it was recognised that periodic review of the lists will be necessary, to ensure that the standards applied in making these selections are maintained, as is the relevance of the scope of the chosen resources to life science bioinformatics, as new technologies are developed and new fields of research emerge, in some cases superseding older technologies, and refocusing research priorities. This document describes the framework for Annual Indicator Monitoring and Formal Periodic Review of the ELIXIR Core Data Resources and Deposition Databases.
