[Purpose/significance]The FAIR principle has become the international standard for scientific data management, studying the concept and connotation of this principle will help the layout and practice of national scientific data management. [Method/process] Based on literature research and online research. Firstly, the background of the FAIR principle is introduced from the perspective of the characteristics of the times. Then, analyzes the specific content of the four sub-principles that are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable through key words. Finally, introduces the research and practical progress on FAIR principle from four aspects: academic conferences, research results, scientific plans, and data publishing.[Result/conclusion] The article believes that the continuous accumulation of data resources, the change of scientific research paradigm, and the global action of data sharing have laid the background for the emergence of FAIR principles. The four sub-principles and their 15 specific principles are progressively advanced, and together describe the FAIR system. We deem that future scientific data sharing system will develop towards integration, intelligence, and ecology.
