Rigor and Transparency in two neurotrauma-publishing journals: editorial policies improve transparent reporting.

This study compares transparency reporting in two neurotrauma journals, finding that a required rigor section improves some reporting practices but not all.

A layered standards framework for integrating single-cell and spatial omics data into brain cell atlases

This paper introduces a standards framework for integrating single-cell and spatial omics data into brain cell atlases, enabling interoperable and reusable knowledge-ready resources.

Identification of Sensory Fiber Types in Mouse Temporomandibular Joint Tissues

This study identifies sensory fiber types in mouse TMJ tissues using immunohistochemistry, finding peptidergic fibers dominate with minimal non-peptidergic nociceptors.

Do organisms need an impact factor? Citations of key biological resources including model organisms reveal usage patterns and impact.

The paper analyzes citation practices for biological resources over 10 years, showing improved findability and adherence to NIH rigor criteria after adopting RRID citations.

Automatic Detection and Extraction of Key Resources from Tables in Biomedical Papers

The paper develops pipelines to extract key resource tables from biomedical PDFs, improving their findability and enabling automated resource extraction tools.

Scaling of an antibody validation procedure enables quantification of antibody performance in major research applications

Over half of 614 commercial antibodies for 65 human neuroscience proteins failed a knockout-controlled assay, yet most targets had a well-performing antibody; recombinants performed best.

The BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Data Ecosystem: A User's Guide

The paper provides a guide to the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) data ecosystem, its tools, and resources for analyzing brain cell types across species.

The SPARC DRC: Building a resource for the autonomic nervous system community

The paper describes the development of a resource for the autonomic nervous system community, including databases, connectivity maps, and simulation tools.

SPARC Data Structure: Rationale and Design of a FAIR Standard for Biomedical Research Data
