A publicly-editable collection of open science resources, including tools, datasets, meta-resources, etc.
Scientific data and tools should, as much as possible, be free as in beer and
free as in freedom. The vast majority of science today is paid for by
taxpayer-funded grants; at the same time, the incredible successes of science
are strong evidence for the benefit of collaboration in knowledgable pursuits.
Within the scientific academy, sharing of expertise, data, tools, etc. is
prolific, but only recently with the rise of the Open Access movement has this
sharing come to embrace the public. Even though most research data is never
shared, both the public and even scientists in their own fields are often
unaware of just much data, tools, and other resources are made freely available
for analysis! This list is a small attempt at bringing light to data
repositories and computational science tools that are often siloed according to
each scientific discipline, in the hopes of spurring along both public and
professional contributions to science.
These categories are very non-exclusive, as many resources could fit multiple
categories. If you’re interested in computational neuroscience specifically,
I’ve made a similar repo-list of open computational neuroscience resources
here.
Contributions are VERY welcome!
