Open scientific data is fundamental to support better quality and higher impact reproducible science. The creation of open scientific databases involves a number of challenges, such as the creation of standardized representations of data and metadata from different domains of knowledge, as well as the development of computational resources to assist scientists in collecting and maintaining high-quality data. This paper presents a free software computational platform for the management and sharing of data from Neuroscience experiments. This platform allows to register data and metadata of experiments in a safe and user-friendly way, integrating data records of different types, such as clinical, electrophysiological and behavioral.
O Neuroscience Experiments System (NES) é um sistema desenvolvido para gerenciar informações de experimentos de neurociência. O módulo de exportação do NES permite que o pesquisador obtenha os dados e metadados de seus experimentos em formatos interoperáveis, porém a compreensão desses dados nem sempre é simples. Seguindo os conceitos da metodologia ágil, adotamos a filosofia e as especificações técnicas do Frictionless Data com o intuito de reduzir o atrito frequentemente encontrado ao trabalhar com dados. A adoção do Frictionless Data proporcionou uma melhor compreensão dos dados pelos pesquisadores, além de permitir a criação de scripts e programas para realizar a análise dos dados coletados.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
