Dataset of FAIR-based templates and tools for data management and depositor training in AquaDocs – Panama Community

The data were created as part of the national training program for data depositors of the AquaDocs Panama Community, coordinated by the National Oceanographic and Marine Data and Information Center (NODC Panama) under the IODE–UNESCO framework.

Each template was designed following FAIR data principles to ensure that information is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. The dataset includes tools for the identification of materials, metadata recording, quality control, and tracking of deposited items. These templates can be reused or adapted by other AquaDocs communities or institutions interested in implementing FAIR-aligned workflows for data and publication management.
