About ODC-SCI

Welcome message

Dear Colleague, Welcome to the Open Data Commons for Spinal Cord Injury (ODC-SCI)! The ODC-SCI was established in 2017 as a dedicated data sharing portal and repository for the field of SCI. Through the ODC-SCI, you can share data with your colleagues in a protected space and publish data to the public with a DOI. The ODC-SCI complies with the FAIR data principles to ensure that SCI data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. With the growth of this community we hope to expand the amount of data sharing and promote transparency and reproducibility for our common goal to find a cure for SCI, and provide a means for the SCI community to meet increasing funder and journal data sharing requirements. We cordially invite you to share this community with your colleagues and friends involved or interested in SCI research. Become a member of the ODC-SCI and start sharing your data now. For security reasons, ODC-SCI is only open to those affiliated with a recognized institution or organization with appropriate oversight protections in place. However, we welcome everyone to explore and use our public data. If you have questions, please contact us at [e-mail]. To apply for membership, click here. Sincerely, The ODC-SCI community
