Image Repository Decision Tree - Where do I deposit my imaging data

Depositing data in quality data repositories is one crucial step towards FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data. Accordingly, Euro-BioImaging strongly encourages sharing scientific imaging data in established, thematic repositories. 

To guide you in the selection of appropriate repositories, we have created an overview of available repositories for different types of image data, including their scope and requirements. This decision tree guides you through questions about your data and directs you to the correct repository, and/or provides instructions for further processing to meet the critera of the repositories. 

Three seperate trees are provided for different classes of imaging data: open bioimage data, preclinical data, and human imaging data. These versions with three trees can be used for web-view. Update: also the editable versions in powerpoint format (.pptx) are now provided. Please be aware that opening the versions with another program might lead to shifted formatting.

Update: we now also provide ready-to-print versions designed to be printed on A3 format. One page shows the open bioimaging data tree and one page combines the preclinical and human imaging data trees. Also the editable versions of these are provided.
