INCF Program on Standards for Data Sharing
Standards for Data Sharing aims to develop generic standards and tools to facilitate the recording, sharing, and reporting of neuroscience metadata, in order to improve practices for the archiving and sharing of neuroscience data.
Metadata define the methods and conditions of data acquisition and subsequent analytical processing.
The current focus of the Program is in two areas: neuroimaging and electrophysiology.
Two Task Forces work to develop persistent identifiers for data and promote datasharing statements in journals.

"Data sharing in neuroimaging is clearly one element that fosters more rapid, reliable and reproducible research. With open source software, it is a crucial part of a new culture that reconsiders what research is about, and how it should be conducted at a personal and institutional levels. I believe that INCF is playing an important role in helping the neuroimaging field adopt this new culture."
