Abstract

Most neuroscientists have yet to embrace a culture of data sharing. Using our decade-long experience at NeuroMorpho.Org as an example, we discuss how publicly available repositories may benefit data producers and end-users alike. We outline practical recipes for resource developers to maximize the research impact of data sharing platforms for both contributors and users.
