fMRIDC Data Distribution License and Guidelines
Data Sharing Policy: The mission of the fMRI Data Center is to promote data sharing among scientists
interested in studies of the human brain using functional neuroimaging during cognitive neuropsychological
- paradigms. The Data Center aims to maintain the scientific record of published fMRI studies so that they may be
made freely available for people to confirm results, perform subsequent analyses, and subject the data to comparison across studies. The data you have received contains the information needed to, in principle, be able to replicate the results reported in the published research article. You are free to distribute these data without restriction provided that you adhere to several key guidelines:
Original Author Credit: Failure to cite or give credit to the original authors who collected these data in
subsequent published articles or presentations is on par with plagiarism, is unacceptable, and unprofessional. Though the Data Center is not in a position to police every intended use of these data, we trust that the scientific community will ensure that this does not happen. However, we do insist that researchers re-analyzing these published data reference the original published article and reference the fMRI Data Center study accession number.
Human Subjects Protection: The data you have received have been stripped of any and all information that
could be used to identify the subjects who took part in the original investigation. Moreover, structural images of the head have been stripped of facial features and skull so that they, too, cannot be used to identify the individual. This has been done to satisfy United States Federal Regulations pertaining to the protection of human subjects who participate in research studies (U.S. 45 CFR 46). The researcher is cautioned that contact with the original authors with the intent of forming collaboration on additional analyses of study data in which the identity of subjects might be revealed may violate regulations on human subject’s research. You are strongly advised to contact your institution’s committee on research involving human subjects prior to the exchange of identifying information with the original authors.
Accompanying Study Description PDF Document: The data making up this study are of limited value
unless they are accompanied by documentation that puts them into the context of how they were collected and the framework of the underlying experimental design. We encourage researchers to always provide the accompanying PDF document that describes the complete study details whenever they are sharing these data with their colleagues. In this way, the recognition of the work of the original authors may be preserved, the experimental paradigm may most accurately be represented and remain in agreement with the published description, as well as indicate the role of the Data Center.
License Information: To ensure that others are informed of these data sharing policies, please include a copy of
this license page when sharing this data with other parties. Your participation in practicing these data sharing policies will be of great help in making the fMRI Data Center effort a success!
