Management Standards

Community-based project management standards¶

Have a project management that allows for understanding your analysis/data even after years! Make it possible to share your analysis/data in a standardized way. Afer all we want our projects to be reproducible. If you want to learn more about which management standard your lab has, please visit the Research Group page.

Be FAIR.¶

Your data and code should be findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable. Simply FAIR.

Mange your folders.¶

Use standardized folder/files organisations. For example choose: TIER (Teaching Integrity in Emprical Research) also available under OSF (template 4.0). Store your data in a structured way using BIDS for brain imaging data or NWB for other neuroscience data. Find a possible option for psychological data.

Make data sharing possible by getting consent - Open Brain Consent. Preferably choose stimuli which are under no copyright law. Choose to be open source! Share your data via OSF, OpenNeuro, etc, interactivly via NeuroVault.

Explain your analysis.¶

Why you chose your analysis in a particular way should be 100% clear to you. If not, you can't describe it to anybody else. This might help: https://www.humanbrainmapping.org/files/2016/COBIDASreport.pdf.

Be up to date.¶
