Description

Open science is an umbrella.

We're here to help grow the community supporting it.

Open data Sharing neuroimaging data isn't easy, but we can make it easier. We're interested in understanding how OHBM members share data, where they encounter difficulties, and what kinds of new infrastructure and ethics can make next-generation data-sharing possible.

Open code Analysis code is often a second-class citizen in neuroimaging research, but we can change that. We help to teach scientists best-practices in software development—and how those practices can result in real-world gains in research quality and output.

Open publishing Papers shouldn't hide behind paywalls. We want to help create solutions to enable new, open-access platforms and to facilitate free information.
