Figure 2
The volume of data available on OpenNeuro has shown a steady growth since its opening started operations in 2017.
Shown are figures from July 2018, when all data were migrated to a new DataLad storage backend, through the present date. The green line illustrates the cumulative growth in total number of datasets, and the red line shows the aggregate of subjects (in thousands).
Figure 3
OpenNeuro datasets vary substantially in number of participants (X axis), number of sessions per participant (Y axis), and number of tasks per participant (size/color of datapoints); axes are log-scaled for easier visualization.
Results are based on metadata derived directly from the 502 OpenNeuro datasets available via DataLad as of 10/9/2021.

Published reuses of OpenNeuro datasets, split by the type of reuse.
Note that the final bar includes only reuses identified through June 2021.
