To publish brain data related to cognitive neuroscience (e.g. neuroimaging, electrophysiological, behavioral data) is becoming more and more important within the community: (i) it simplifies the re-use of the data, within and outside the lab; (ii) it facilitates reviewing of how the data were analyzed, after publishing; (iii) it increases the amount of accessible information for the whole community. However, just a small part of the community includes this activity within their research routine. Many people avoid publishing data just because they do not know how to do it. Given that it is not completely clear how this activity is rewarded, to spend time in learning how to do is considered not useful. Here we propose a tutorial where we first explain implications of sharing the data, describing the most common projects, including openfmri.org, illustrate data management standards, and present easy-to-use tools for versioning and collaboratively share the data. Then we practically guide participants through actual preparation and sharing of several different dataset we made ready for practicing. At the end of the tutorial, participants should have acquired the skills to re-organize and publish a dataset, back in the lab.
