Sharing statistical maps

Posted by filo_kg on 18 Dec 2015 at 23:12 GMT

Congratulations on your paper!

I was wondering if you would you be willing to share the unthresholded versions of group level statistical maps from this study (Figure 3). We have made a web database for such data called http://NeuroVault.org. It makes uploading NIFTI files with the results of your experiments very easy (the whole process takes less than 5 minutes).

The reason why I am asking you to upload the statistical maps to NeuroVault is because they can become a valuable asset for other researchers performing meta analyses or deriving ROIs from your study. Sharing this data is does not take much time, and can improve the impact of your research. In addition, your paper is always linked to the data which can lead to higher citation rates.

NeuroVault.org is not a commercial project and is dedicated to new discoveries in human neuroscience. Collected data will be available publicly to any researcher willing to take advantage of it. NeuroVault is also backed by Stanford Digital Library which guarantees long term retention of the data.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
