Data is often at the heart of science—researchers track velocities, measure light coming from stars, analyze heart rates and cholesterol levels and scan the human brain for electrical impulses. But often, sharing that data with other scientists—or with peer-reviewed journal editors, or funders—is difficult.

A research team has developed an open-source data-management system that the scientists hope will solve all of those problems. The researchers outlined their system today in the journal PLOS ONE.
