Research team including Dr. Kathryn Maxson Jones aims to expand neuroscience data accessibility
Assistant Professor Dr. Kathryn Maxson Jones is part of a team of researchers aiming to expand the accessibility of neuroscience data. The team recently published a paper in eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd.
In their paper, the researchers provided an overview and analysis of the NIH-funded BRAIN Initiative data-sharing ecosystem. Dr. Maxson Jones (right) and the team had two objectives for their collaborative work. The first is to provide a guide to the BRAIN Initiative data-sharing ecosystem for readers interested in sharing and reusing neuroscience data. Second, their analysis supports the development of empirically informed policy and practice aimed at making neuroscience data more findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.
