Behavioral results: make bar graphs of RT?
fMRI results: labels, figure caption, make blues in graph the same color

Problem
Solution I: COPDESS Directory
At the end of each trial, the correct category was revealed and the subjects recorded the accuracy of their category guess.
Suggested Best Practices for Journals
The traditional research paper is the only widely accreditable research output.
Because of this, researchers face few incentives to make other parts of their research accessible.
The data used in publications can often be hard to access.
Data collected but never used in a publication are even harder to use.
Other parts of the research lifecycle face similar obstacles: if they’re not included in the final publication, they will be lost.
Example Data Policy Statement
The Journal has endorsed the Statement of Commitment of the Coalition on Publishing Data in the Earth and Space Sciences (COPDESS).  All data and software necessary to understand, evaluate, replicate, and build upon the reported research must be made available and accessible at the time of publication as far as possible. Data should, to the extent possible, be stored in appropriate domain repositories that are widely recognized and used by the community, follow leading practices for data curation, and can provide additional data services.
Best Practices
Include a statement about data availability & link to COPDESS.
Editors, reviewers, and staff evaluate data and affirm availability.
Additional data policy statements:
The COPDESS directory will help you, as an Earth and Space science researcher, author, or journal, find the right repository for your data, based on data type, discipline, and other relevant repository factors.
Logistical Challenges
Case Study: Resource Identification Initiative
Solution II: Educational
Educational
For reproducibility and interoperability to be meaningful and well-understood, appropriate standards need to be agreed. Amongst these, Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) could well form a key part. However, in order to do so they need to be understood by the respective research communities.
Technical
In addition, workflows need to be optimized (and as far as possible automated) for accurate use and, if there are implications for workloads, consideration given to resourcing and training requirements.
RIID is a pilot project to identify and cite antibodies, software, data, and model organisms in the biomedical literature
The RRID syntax comprises an accession number assigned by the database with the prefix “RRID:” (e.g., RRID:AB_ ).
RRIDs have appeared in over 400 papers from 60 journals.
See Bandrowski A, Brush M, Grethe JS et al. (doi: /f1000research )
Key incentives exist at: funding, publication, and hiring/tenure
If these stakeholders recognize and reward transparency, the research community will act accordingly.
Community education goals:
Many research outputs (e.g. data collection, management, & enrichment, software, etc) contribute to the knowledge cannon.
Producers of these outputs should be rewarded accordingly.
Include altmetrics in the assessment framework, transparentlu
The goals of reproducibility and interoperability should be woven into research funding calls.
Editors need to know how data can be cited
Publishers can inform authors & editors about data publication, enact the TOP Guidelines, and work with partners to ensure robust links between publications and related outputs housed by other platforms.
Adoption, Implementation, and Next Steps
Work with funders to incentivize data sharing, publication, & re-use
We need to work with relevant societies, publishers, and journal editors to ensure these policies are widely disseminated.
Adapt guidelines to become discipline specific.
Training: researchers must cite data and peer reviewers must expect it.
