Open Science Guidebook for Neuroscientists

license: CC BY 4.0

Welcome to the Open Science Guidebook for Neuroscientists repository. This repository aims to provide a comprehensive set of guidelines and resources to promote and apply open science principles in the field of neuroscience. Check the guidebook on our website!

Our project seeks to spread Open Science in the field of Neuroscience. The guidebook offers step-by-step guidance on data management, pre-registration, protocol and code sharing, and open-access publishing. Uniquely designed for the diverse subfields of neuroscience, this resource consolidates existing knowledge and introduces new content to address specific challenges. Accessible to researchers at all levels, it aims to empower students, research technicians, and all career-level scientists, fostering collaboration, reproducibility, and transparency within the neuroscience community.

Meet the Team

We are the Open Science Working Group at Amsterdam UMC’s Department of Anatomy and Neurosciences: a diverse team of neuroscientists, including Ph.D. researchers, postdocs, research assistants, and technicians, all united by our passion for Open Science.
