An ontology for mental functioning, including mental processes such as cognition and traits such as intelligence, and related diseases and disorders. It is developed in the context of the Ontology for General Medical Science and the Basic Formal Ontology. The project is being developed in collaboration between the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and the University at Buffalo, USA. The project is being developed with full involvement of all relevant communities, following best practices laid out by the OBO Foundry. Efforts are currently underway to align with related projects including the Behaviour Ontology, the Cognitive Atlas, the Cognitive Paradigm Ontology and the Neural Electro Magnetic Ontologies.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 5, 2023. MUGEN Mouse Database (MMdb) is a virtual and fully searchable repository of murine models of immune processes and immunological diseases. MMdb is being developed within the context of the MUGEN network of Excellence, a consortium of 21 leading research institutes and universities, and currently holds all mutant mouse models that were developed within the consortium. Its primary aim is to enable information exchange between participating institutions on mouse strain characteristics and availability. More importantly, it aims to create a mouse-centric international forum on modelling of immunological diseases and pave the way to systems biology of the mouse by correlating various genotypic and phenotypic characteristics. The basic categorization of models is based on three major research application categories: * Model of Human Disease * Model of Immune Processes * Transgenic Tool Mutant strains carry detailed information on affected gene(s), mutant alleles and genetic background (DNA origin, targeted, host and backcrossing background). Each gene/transgene index also includes IDs and direct links to Ensembl (EBI��s genome browser), ArrayExpress (providing expression profiles), Eurexpress II (for embryonic expression patterns) and NCBI��s Entrez Gene database. Phenotypic description is standardized and hierarchically structured, based on MGI��s mammalian phenotypic ontology terms, but also includes relevant images and references. Since version 2.1.0 MMdb is also utilizing PATO. Availability (in the form of live mice, cryopreserved embryos or sperm, as well as ES cells) is clearly indicated, along with handling and genotyping details (in the form of documents or hyperlinks) and all relevant contact information (including EMMA and JAX hyperlinks where available).

Databases of transcript and media data collected from conversations with adults and older children to foster fundamental research in the study of human and animal communication. Conversations with children are available from CHILDES. All of the data is transcribed in CHAT and CA/CHAT formats. Databases of the following types are included in the collection: Aphasia patient speech, Child speech, Study of Phonological Development, Conversation Analysis, and Bilingualism and Second Language Acquisition. TalkBank will use these databases to advance the development of standards and tools for creating, sharing, searching, and commenting upon primary materials via networked computers.

Non-profit organization to increase the openness, integrity, and reproducibility of scientific research. COS priorities are to (1) make the entire scientific workflow accessible, (2) increase scientists' accountability, (3) facilitate good practices by scientists, (4) increase reward for good practices, and (5) promote reproducibility of scientific findings. COS has three primary activities: * Infrastructure development to support the scientific workflow and to connect technologies that support scientific research and communication, such as the Open Science Framework * Community building on open practices among open-source developers, open science researchers, and the broader scientific community, such as the Open Science Collaboration * Metascience, research on scientific practices, such as Reproducibility Project: Psychology and our partnership with Science Exchange, Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology.

Database of journal information that provides tools to search, sort, filter, compare, and evaluate scholarly journals. In addition to searching by journal name, category or publisher, authors can use title and abstract of paper to discover journals that have already published articles on similar topics. Data sources include major industry data sets, public resources, information submitted directly by journal editors, and real-life publishing experiences submitted by authors.

An organization for universities and research institutions that is an information service and a forum for raising and discussing issues around the mission of modern universities and research institutions, particularly with regard to the creation, dissemination and preservation of research findings. Its aim is to further the opening up of scholarship and research that we are now seeing through the growing open access, open education, open science and open innovation movements. These, and other, "open" approaches to scholarship are changing the way research and learning are done and there are profound implications for universities and research institutions. EOS has been established to help guide developments and to assist others in understanding the issues and their implications. The context in which EOS has been established is that of increasing interest from governments, funders and the research community itself in opening up the way research is carried out and communicated. This interest is complemented by new research practices and processes that can work effectively only in an open, collaborative environment. Developments of relevance to the mission of EnablingOpenScholarship are reported on and news and details of forthcoming meetings, briefings and discussion sessions is provided.

Free software application for notetaking, sketching, keeping a journal using a stylus that runs on Linux (recent distributions) and other GTK+/Gnome platforms. It is similar to Microsoft Windows Journal or to other alternatives such as Jarnal, Gournal, and NoteLab. Note: is open source and allows some annotation, but its PDF reading ability is very limited. It also uses its own format to store annotations.

A collaboration tool which allows users to edit and publish scientific articles and papers. Overleaf utilizes the convenience of an easy-to-use WYSIWYG manuscript editor with real-time collaboration and structured, fully typeset output produced automatically. Authors can publish immediately and directly to their journal of choice while publishers can reduce their editorial and review turnaround times with powerful change tracking, commenting, and project lifecycle management features. It was formerly known as writeLaTex but changed its name to Overleaf in 2015.

Free software extension for MediaWiki that makes a wiki into an environment for collaborating on publication-quality manuscripts and software projects. It allows wiki users to work together on anything that can be done by using UNIX commands to transform textual source code into output. Researchers can use it to collaborate on programs written in R, python, C, or any other language, and there are special features to support easy work on LaTeX documents. It develops the potential of the wiki medium to serve as a combination collaborative text editor, development environment, revision control system, and publishing platform. Its potential uses are open-ended - its processing is controlled by makefiles that are straightforward to customize - and its modular design is intended to allow parts of it to be adapted to other purposes.

RIKEN Arabidopsis Transposon mutants is a series of mutant lines which have a Ds transposon in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana Nssen ecotype (background by Fedoroff and Smith). This web page provides information on the mutants produced in our laboratory. Each mutant line is assigned by stipulated line codes (ex. 13-4480-1). We determined the flanking sequences of Ds insertion for each independent line. Transposon insertion sites of mutants were estimated by a BLASTN homology against the genome sequence database of Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia ecotype. The closest genes (predicted by AGI) to the transposon insertion sites were picked up. The results of the BLASTP homology search against the nr database of NCBI for the closest genes have been collected for keyword searches.
