We also emphasise knowledge and data‐sharing practices to create an epistemic community of scientists who share common methodology and are united in the goals of increasing methodological transparency and improving the reliability and reproducibility of research findings. To encourage other researchers to adopt common methodology, we have created extensive resources that facilitate engagement in open knowledge-sharing of our expertise, platform developments and data, aligned with Canada’s Roadmap for Open Science:
www.Touchscreencognition.org serves as a central hub for state-of-the-art know-how about using touchscreen cognitive testing systems. This knowledge-sharing platform provides access to the latest publications, a forum for discussion, training videos and resources such as standard operating procedures (SOPs).
www.Mousebytes.ca is the first open science data repository for mouse cognitive data. This data sharing platform follows the FAIR principles of open science and has received support from and is being linked to the Brain Canada funded Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP).
