The Image Attribution Framework Development Repository is a system for neuroimaging data citation and credit with a practical implementation that meets the objectives of unique identification, data use tracking, and integration with traditional credit attribution systems. This reference implementation was created which mirrors the structure of the Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse (NITRC) neuroimaging data repository using the XNAT platform. DOIs can be assigned upon dataset upload, meaning that project-level identifiers as well as per-image DOIs are created. Note that this reference implementation is for illustration purposes. It is expected that ultimate success of this concept will be through the implementation of these recommendations within existing data hosts, and not through this reference implementation itself.
