The Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, involving over 11,000 youth and their families, is a groundbreaking project examining various factors impacting brain and cognitive development. Despite yielding hundreds of publications and counting, the ABCD Study has lacked a centralized help platform to assist researchers in navigating and analyzing the extensive ABCD dataset. To support the ABCD research community, we created NowIKnowMyABCD, the first centralized documentation and communication resource publicly available to researchers using ABCD Study data. It consists of two core elements: a user-focused website and a moderated discussion board. The website serves as a repository for ABCD-related resources, tutorials, and a live feed of relevant updates and queries sourced from social media websites. The discussion board offers a platform for researchers to seek guidance, troubleshoot issues, and engage with peers. Our aim is for NowIKnowMyABCD to grow with participation from the ABCD research community, fostering transparency, collaboration, and adherence to open science principles.
青少年大脑与认知发展研究(ABCD 研究),涉及超过 11000 名青少年及其家庭,是一个开创性的项目,旨在研究影响大脑和认知发展的各种因素。尽管已经产生了数百项研究成果,但 ABCD 研究一直缺乏一个集中的帮助平台,以帮助研究人员浏览和分析庞大的 ABCD 数据集。为了支持 ABCD 研究社区,我们创建了 NowIKnowMyABCD,这是第一个集中的文档和通信资源,可供使用 ABCD 研究数据的研究人员使用。它由两个核心要素组成:一个以用户为中心的网站和一个经过审核的讨论板。该网站是 ABCD 相关资源、教程的存储库,以及来自社交媒体网站的相关更新和查询的实时Feed。讨论板为研究人员提供了一个寻求指导、解决问题和与同行交流的平台。我们的目标是让 NowIKnowMyABCD 在 ABCD 研究社区的参与下不断发展,促进透明度、协作和遵守开放科学原则。
