Nick Steinmetz Neuropixel data

Member

Can read the project and everything that inherits from it. Cannot create or change entries.

Contributor

Can create and edit entries in the project. This is the level most forms check: a Subject or Session selector only offers projects where you are at least a Contributor.

Manager

Everything a Contributor can do, plus managing who has access.

Owner

Full control of the project, including deletion.

The add form asks only for the name and the groups that get access. Select Create and continue to open the full form for the description, publications, sharing, and repository details.

Name Required Text

How the project is identified everywhere it is selected. Users pick projects by this name in most other forms, so make it recognisable to collaborators, not just to you. Names are unique across all of BrainSTEM, not just within your own records, so a name another lab has already used will be refused. Include something identifying — the lab, the study — rather than a generic label like "Pilot".

Authenticated groups Create only Multiple selections

The groups given access when the project is created. This is the fastest way to share a project with a lab. After creation, access is managed from the project's own page rather than from this form, where you can also invite individual people.

Description Rich text

What the project is for. This is the first thing a new collaborator — or a reader of your public project — will use to understand the work, so say what the question is and what the data are, not only the title in longer form.

Public access Consequential Yes/no

Publishes the project and everything that inherits from it to the public portal, readable without an account. This is one-click sharing, so treat it as a deliberate act: check what the project contains first, because subjects, sessions, procedures, and notes all become visible together.

Publications Multiple selections

The papers this project's data support. Linking them is what lets a reader move from a publication to the underlying records.

Tags Multiple selections

Free labels for organising and filtering. Tags are shared across BrainSTEM, so prefer an existing tag over a near duplicate. The suggestions offered are the tags already used in your projects.

Name used in storage Text

The name this project has in your file storage, when it differs from the name above. It is what connects records here to directories on disk.

Repository links Structured details

Links to where the data or code live externally — a DANDI set, a GitHub repository, an institutional archive.

Extra content Structured details

Additional key/value details the standard fields do not cover. Prefer a real field where one exists: extra content is not searchable or comparable in the same way.
