Research your topic and look for existing best-practices in sources such as the FAIR Cookbook and , RMDkit, Turing way https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/index.html, DSW, FAIR Sharing and FAIR Sharing. Feel free to add other high quality sources and notify the Editorial board if you have general resources, which should be added to the list.

2. Drafting: Add your text by mentioning your name between brackets, followed by the text. For example: [Sander] This is my text.
   Draft a clear outline that structures the content logically. Include main headings and subheadings to organize the information.
   Define the key messages and objectives for the page. What should readers learn or be able to do after reading the page?
   Where appropriate, include examples, case studies, diagrams, or other visuals to illustrate points and enhance understanding.
