Abstract: The FAIR principles constitute a cornerstone of contemporary scientific methodology, with the Digital Library (DL) community actively participating and providing significant advancements within this framework. By taking a reproducibility approach, this paper centers on findability, a pivotal aspect of scientific data management and stewardship. Specifically, we delve into the critical role of Data Search in enabling efficient retrieval across various contexts, including scholarly publications and scientific data management. Consequently, the convergence of Digital Library and Information Retrieval (IR) domains underscores the necessity to adapt document-level IR techniques to optimize dataset retrieval processes.
