Data practice
Every figure links to its raw images
How we set up our figures so a reader can get from a published panel to the original file in two clicks.
A figure is a summary. Readers occasionally need the thing being summarised, and it should not take an email to get it.
The setup
Every panel carries an identifier that resolves to a folder in our public archive: raw images, the analysis script, and a note on what was excluded and why.
What it costs
About a day of work per paper, mostly in naming things consistently. It has saved us more than that in emails.
