Editorial: On the Economics of Neuroscientific Data Sharing

Author: John Darrell Van Horn

Published in: Neuroinformatics | Issue 1/2024

Excerpt

Today, the concept of sharing the data from one’s neuroscientific research experiments seems second nature to many (Birgiolas et al., 2023; de Vries et al., 2023; Reer et al., 2023). Openly accessible archives readily exist for contributing raw and processed data which may then be downloaded by others (Markiewicz et al., 2021). Community-based file structures ease the assessment of data quality (Esteban et al., 2017), the application of processing workflows (Esteban et al., 2019), and the emergence of standards organizations supporting the exchange of data (Abrams et al., 2021). Research funding agencies now require statements about how data will be shared in grant applications and expect that primary data will be shared as a condition of funding. It might seem that data sharing has always been something the brain science community has eagerly taken part in. …
