Open Science Guidebook for Neuroscience

license: CC BY 4.0

Welcome to the Open Science Guidelines for Neuroscience 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 guidelines in our website!

Our project seeks to spread Open Science in the Neuroscience field. 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, it consolidates existing resources 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 Anatomy and Neuroscience Department, a diverse team of neuroscientists, including Ph.D. researchers, postdocs, research assistants, and technicians, all united by our passion for Open Science.

How to contribute

🌱 We would like to stay in contact with all the amazing people of the open neuroscience community. We look forward to collaborating with other neuroscientists to create a supportive environment where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential. We aspire to cultivate a community that actively contributes to maintaining and updating the guidebook’s content, ensuring long-term sustainability and relevance.

🧠 If you’d like to contribute, you can either open an issue to share your suggestions, and we’ll review them, or submit a pull request directly. Thank you for your support!

✨ Many, many thanks to our mentor from OLS-8 cohort, Siobhan Hall, for guiding us through the process, providing feedback, and giving a broad perspective!
