Can I have your data? Recommendations for sharing neuroimaging data upon a direct personal request

COEX 

Sharing neuroimaging data through a direct request can be challenging both for researchers who request the data and those who agree to share their data. Unlike sharing through repositories that have standardized protocols and data sharing/use agreements, each party often needs to negotiate the terms of sharing and use of data case by case against the backdrop of complex ethical and regulatory requirements, not to mention the technical issues regarding data transfer and management. This study aims to help researchers navigate these challenges by examining what to consider during the process of data sharing and by offering recommendations and practical tips from a case study.
