Dear Donald and Eyal,

Thank you for your clarification and examples. I have checked on those, and have an impression that the resultant papers are related to DMN, resting state, structural MRI, and new methods for data mining. However, as I myself am doing taste fMRI researches, it is difficult for me to visualize how to make use of such massive open MRI data into my research field. Any ideas?

Again, thank you all for your guidance. Look forward to hearing replies from all of you.

Best,

Andy

Andy,

I don't think reviewers will have any issues of re-use data that have been previously published as long as you have permission to use the data and your analysis contributes something new to the field.

The HCP Connectome Project and NKI Rockland Sample are excellent examples -- they are sharing fMRI data that people can analyze and publish.

Best,
Donald

Dear all SPM users,

I would like to ask if there are examples of published articles using previously published fMRI data openly deposited in freely accessed online database.

If the original data is used to publish results based on task-based fMRI, what will be the best way to utilize those data for new uses? Will reviewers doubt the originality of data?

One example I can think of is the SPM manual, which asks us to download the sample data for trying out the SPM procedures. But that secondary use of data is not leading to publication.

Best,
Andy
