Open Science Framework

OSF is a free, open-source platform for managing research projects and sharing data. It helps researchers organize workflows, collaborate, and make their work transparent and reproducible.

Open Behaviour

OpenBehavior is a community‑driven, open‑source repository of tools for behavioral research. Scientists can browse, download, and adapt hardware and software solutions to build or enhance experiments efficiently and flexibly.

Zenodo

Zenodo is a free, open-access repository where researchers can upload, preserve, and share datasets, software, publications, and other research outputs. Each item receives a permanent DOI, making work easy to cite, discover, and reuse.

Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP)

Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP) is a platform for sharing and analyzing neuroscience data. It enables researchers to access, contribute, and collaboratively explore a growing collection of open neuroscience datasets.

Open Microscopy

Open Microscopy is a platform for sharing and analyzing microscopy data — enabling researchers to upload, explore, and collaborate on imaging datasets across labs.

Dataverse

Dataverse is an open-source platform for sharing, preserving, citing, and exploring research data. Researchers can easily implement it by creating a Dataverse collection for their lab or project, uploading datasets with proper metadata, and publishing them to enhance transparency, reproducibility, and compliance with data-sharing requirements.

figshare

figshare is a repository for sharing a wide range of research outputs — including data, figures, and code. By uploading your work to figshare, you make it openly accessible, assign persistent identifiers for citation, and increase visibility and reuse of your research.

MouseBytes

MouseBytes is an open-access platform for sharing, visualizing, and analyzing touchscreen-based mouse cognitive and behavioral data. Researchers can upload their behavioral datasets (with metadata), run automated quality control, and compare or combine their data with other studies — enhancing transparency, reproducibility, and reuse across labs.

Brain-CODE

Brain-CODE is a secure platform for sharing, integrating, and analyzing multidimensional data from participants with epilepsy, cerebral palsy, neurodegenerative disorders, depression, and other neurodevelopmental conditions. Researchers can use it to store standardized datasets, collaborate across studies, and access high-quality clinical and neuroimaging data to advance translational research.

Healthy Brain Network

The Healthy Brain Network (via the NITRC fcon_1000 site) is a data-sharing platform for research on children and adolescents with mental health and learning disorders. It enables researchers to access, analyze, and collaborate using rich neurodevelopmental, behavioral, and imaging datasets — promoting better understanding of brain development and mental health in youth.

Data Dryad

Data Dryad is a repository for research data across all disciplines, allowing researchers to store, share, and assign persistent identifiers to their data — promoting openness, reuse, and long‑term preservation.

Clinical Biospecimen Imaging and Genetic Repository (C-BIG)

The C-BIGR Open LORIS platform provides a repository for sharing and analyzing data from participants with mental health disorders, enabling researchers to access standardized clinical, neuroimaging, and behavioral datasets to facilitate collaboration, reproducibility, and discovery in mental‑health research.

Clinical Study Data Request

ClinicalStudyDataRequest is a platform for requesting and sharing clinical trial data from many pharmaceutical and research sponsors. It enables researchers to access anonymized trial datasets — facilitating reanalysis, meta‑studies, and transparency in clinical research.

DANDI Archive

DANDI Archive is a platform for sharing and analyzing neurophysiology data, allowing researchers to store, access, and collaborate on neurophysiological datasets to advance open neuroscience and reproducibility.

UK Biobank

The UK Biobank is a curated biomedical database that provides global access to health, genetic, and lifestyle data for approved researchers — enabling large-scale investigations into disease risk, epidemiology, and public health.
