The National Institute of Health (NIH) and other funding bodies have recently focused on increasing sharing, publication, and citation of research data and metadata to improve scholarly communication, reproducibility and translation. Major journals are responding by demanding that data and metadata underlying publications be made available in public repositories for reuse to fuel novel discoveries from pooled information. We will review progress toward these goals in neuroscience, using traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury as illustrating examples.
About
Spinal cord injury (SCI) produces a complex syndrome characterized by loss of motor control and mobility; loss of bladder, bowel and sexual function; pathological pain; and loss of autonomy. The multifaceted nature of SCI presents a challenge for the translational pipeline. This problem of SCI complexity can be conceptualized as a big-data issue: the field needs a forum for large-scale data-sharing and application of advanced analytics to catalyze SCI discoveries. Various funders and publishers have recognized this need as well currently implementing data sharing mandates.
To address this challenge the SCI research community is assembling a large database through collaborative and FAIR data sharing. We are a digital infrastructure with the goal to democratize SCI data, allowing researchers to access existing SCI data, contribute their own, and publish with citable DOI. Learn more
