Introduction and general guidelines
This series aims to highlight standardized and/or validated methods used to acquire, analyze, and interpret neuroimaging data. Common guidelines for acquisition, analysis and interpretation of neuroimaging data are very useful when endorsed by the scientific community. Frontiers in Neuroimaging has identified a need for a forum where scientists in the many subdisciplines of neuroimaging can share methods and protocols that are tried and tested. This would open up a dialogue on the ways in which neuroimaging research is conducted; Review articles or opinions on methodologies or applications including the advantages and limitations of each are welcome. This Topic includes technologies and up-to-date methods which help advance science.
The contributions to this collection will undergo peer-review. Novelty may vary, but the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of neuroimaging research. Submissions will be handled by the team of Topic Editors in the respective sections.
Frontiers in Neuroimaging supports the FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) principles for scientific data management and stewardship (Wilkinson et al., Sci. Data 3:160018, 2016).
This Research Topic welcomes:
• Methods: Describing either new or existing methods that are significantly improved or adapted for specific purposes. These manuscripts may include primary (original) data.
• Protocols: Detailed descriptions, including pitfalls and troubleshooting, to benefit those who may evaluate or employ the techniques. The protocols must be proven to work.
• Curriculum, Instruction, and Pedagogy: Educational 101 tutorial-like articles covering instructions on data analysis or data collection methods and other neuroimaging related pedagogical elements.
• Perspective or General Commentaries on methods and protocols relevant for neuroimaging research.
• Reviews and mini-reviews of topical methods and protocols highlighting the important future directions of the field.
For more information on the description and formats of the different article types please see here.
Keywords: Clinical Research, Disorders of the Nervous System, Computational Sciences, Basic Sciences, Innovative Clinical Applications
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
