Touring a Data Curation Network Primer: A Focus on Neuroimaging Data

Abstract

This video article provides an introduction to a data primer which leads data curators through the process of preparing a neuroimaging dataset for submission into a repository. A team of health sciences librarians and informationists created the primer which is focused on data from functional magnetic resonance images that are saved in either DICOM or NIfTI formats. The video walks through a flowchart discussing the process of preparing data sets to be deposited into a repository, key curatorial questions to ask for data that is highly sensitive, and how to suggest edits to this and other primers. The primer grew out of a data curation workshop hosted by the Data Curation Network. A transcript of this interview is available for download under Additional Files.
