The HMC Dashboard on Open and FAIR Data (also known as the HMC FAIR Data Dashboard), developed by the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC), has reached version 3, marking a significant milestone in monitoring and assessing FAIR data practices across disciplines. This release integrates key updates to the HMC Toolbox for Data Mining and incorporates fixes related to recent changes in the Scholexplorer API as well as the FAIRsFAIR metrics and F-UJI API, ensuring continued reliability and consistency of these evaluations. For the first time, the dashboard now includes data publications retrieved directly from library interfaces that are not yet linked to literature publications, broadening its scope and completeness and opening up for future integrations in that direction. Version 3 also enables the identification and visualization of interdisciplinary data publications contributed by multiple Helmholtz centers and research fields, offering a more comprehensive view of data sharing activities within the Helmholtz research community.
