Standards and best practices portfolio
The Standards and Best Practices portfolio contains all community standards endorsed by the INCF using the criteria developed by the INCF Standards and Best Practices Committee, as well as community standards in the process of being endorsed.
The purpose of this portfolio is to provide the community with an index of robust, well-validated standards and best practices that adhere and support the FAIR principles. The portfolio provides the community with descriptions of appropriate use cases, links to tools/infrastructures, and tutorials for each standard and best practice indexed. Users can search the portfolio by data type, format, or subdomain of neuroscience. By offering this service, we hope to increase the discoverability and use of standards and best practices that support open and FAIR neuroscience.
