Study Organization

File Structure

Studies are organized in Synapse with a directory schema similar to Study directories will be organized like this:

  • Study_Name/

    Data

    /

    • Assay_a/

    • Assay_b/

    • Metadata/

    • Staging/ (Note: Files will initially be uploaded to staging locations)

      • Assay_*/

      private access)

File naming

File names should be concise, descriptive, and unique across the entire study. We must be able to distinguish between each file as if there were all in one directorymust be unique and machine readable. Names can not include special characters. Furthermore, we recommend the names be concise and descriptive.

See general file naming recommendations from the Princeton U Library.

...

MODEL-AD specific templates are being drafted and will be made available on Synapse (see Study, Acknowledgment, and Methods). Each study should be accompanied by needs a brief study description that includes the species, genetic background, a link to the Jax Datasheet (if available) or a description of how the animals were created.

...

Methods Description

Each assay should include a brief description of the procedures, data collection, and analytical methods. This is a good opportunity to provide useful details that may not be included in the manuscript.

...

Every MODEL-AD study should include the following acknowledgment:
