The INCF endorsement process for standards and best practices has been active for more than two years. This means our earliest endorsed standards are now up for re-endorsement!

This month, INCF re-endorsed the model description language NeuroML. Earlier this summer, INCF also re-endorsed the standards BIDS (Brain Imaging Data Structure) and PyNN. 

Members of the community are asked to provide feedback on the DAQCORD Guidelines - a framework for achieving high-quality data by providing a descriptive system for planning and reporting observational studies. This is a part of INCF’s Standards and Best Practices review process to ensure the best practice being reviewed provides value to the community.

The NIX Format - a model for storing annotated datasets across a variety of disciplines - has been endorsed by INCF!

Community review helps to optimize new Standards and Best Practices (SBPs) by allowing those who will use them to highlight areas of improvement before the SBPs are accepted.

Members of the community are asked to provide feedback on the NIDM-Results - a model for standardizing neuroimaging analysis results. This is a part of INCF’s Standards and Best Practices review process to ensure the standard being reviewed provides value to the community.

Partnership with the INCF has enabled us to connect with our user-base on a global scale. Submitting NWB to the Supported Best Practice (SBP) program was a clear next step in our partnership. The SBP review process provides valuable information for both the community as well as the NWB team.
