Curating Brain Images in a Psychiatric Research Group: Infrastructure and Preservation Issues – SCARP Case Study No. 1
This DCC SCARP case study involved the Neuroimaging Group in University of Edinburgh’s Division of Psychiatry. It combined an assessment of risks to the long-term value of the research group’s datasets with field work to understand current data practices in their context. A 5-page Summary and Recommendations [PDF, 170KB] is available.
An annex Neuroimaging Data Landscapes [PDF, 1.23MB] provides background on the development of imaging, the nature of the data collected for neuroimaging studies in psychiatry, data repository and curation resources available, and legal and ethical constraints on data exchange.
