Welcome to the Open Data Commons for Spinal Cord Injury (ODC-SCI)! The ODC-SCI was established in 2017 as a dedicated data sharing portal and repository for the field of SCI. Through the ODC-SCI, you can share data with your colleagues in a protected space and publish data to the public with a DOI. The ODC-SCI complies with the FAIR data principles to ensure that SCI data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. With the growth of this community we hope to expand the amount of data sharing and promote transparency and reproducibility for our common goal to find a cure for SCI, and provide a means for the SCI community to meet increasing funder and journal data sharing requirements.
We cordially invite you to share this community with your colleagues and friends involved or interested in SCI research. Become a member of the ODC-SCI and start sharing your data now. For security reasons, ODC-SCI is only open to those affiliated with a recognized institution or organization with appropriate oversight protections in place. However, we welcome everyone to explore and use our public data. If you have questions, please contact us at info@odc-sci.org.

About
Spinal cord injury (SCI) produces a complex syndrome characterized by loss of motor control and mobility; loss of bladder, bowel and sexual function; pathological pain; and loss of autonomy. The multifaceted nature of SCI presents a challenge for the translational pipeline. This problem of SCI complexity can be conceptualized as a big-data issue: the field needs a forum for large-scale data-sharing and application of advanced analytics to catalyze SCI discoveries. Various funders and publishers have recognized this need as well currently implementing data sharing mandates.
To address this challenge the SCI research community is assembling a large database through collaborative and FAIR data sharing. We are a digital infrastructure with the goal to democratize SCI data, allowing researchers to access existing SCI data, contribute their own, and publish with citable DOI. Learn more
