Drafting a decision tree about sharing MRI data #4
Description
Drafting a decision tree about sharing MRI data
Project Description
With the increasing amount of data sharing initiatives, researchers collecting MRI data cannot and do not want to stay behind. However, many researchers do not know where to start, what they can share and where, where they can find information or support, etc. Therefore, at Leiden University (the Netherlands), we started to develop a decision tree on sharing MRI data for researchers who are new to open science and data sharing. Among our group are both researchers and support people, but we would like to have more input on possible solutions and questions to be asked in the decision tree.
A possible extension of this initiative may include multiple types of data besides MRI data, as well as more details about tackling the GDPR. These are however outside of the scope of the current decision tree.
Skills required to participate
You are very welcome to contribute if you know anything about:
- MRI data
- GDPR / other privacy issues
- Ethical issues with regard to data sharing
- Data sharing or archiving repositories, or
- Platforms suitable for hosting such a decision tree
Integration
We welcome people from all stages of research (student to PI) as well as research supporters (e.g., librarians, ICT support, technicians, etc.) in order to gather as much useful input as possible.
Intermediate goals:
- Formulate all relevant questions that the decision tree must contain
- Prioritize questions: which question should be posed when?
- Formulate possible solutions to most pressing scenarios
- Finish a first version of the decision tree
- Discuss how to implement the decision tree
- Discuss where to implement the decision tree (platform, website, etc.)
Preparation material
The brainstorm document can be found here and a first draft version of a tree for Leiden University can be found here. For other material and tutorials, see the OHBM list of online tutorials.
