Abstract

Open access to data underpinning published results is a key pillar of scientific reproducibility. Making data available at scale also provides opportunities for data reuse, encouraging the development of new analysis approaches. In this poster article, accompanying a recorded talk, we will explain the benefits of publicly archiving your image data alongside your published manuscripts, as well as highlight what resources are available to do this. This will include the BioImage Archive, EMBL-EBI's new resource for biological image data, https://www.ebi.ac.uk/bioimage-archive/. We will look at how image data submission works, how to prepare in advance for archiving your data and upcoming developments.

Keywords: archival; computational bioimaging; data management.
