Overview

Schematic overview of GIN illustrating its many usage possibilities.
The GIN platform is a web-based repository store that you can reach from everywhere, which is secure and which provides fine-grained access control. This enables sharing data with collaborators or publishing your data to the greater scientific community. Both you and your collaborators can work independently, using versioned repositories at work, at home, or wherever you want. All this can either be achieved through various convenient client interfaces or by using the underlying tools (git, git-annex) directly. You can also set up [your own GIN server](wiki/In+House).

If you are unfamiliar with GIN and/or git version control, you can find more details in our short GIN introduction.


## Why you should use GIN

Management of scientific data, including consistent organization, annotation, and storage of data, is a challenging task. Accessing and managing data from multiple workplaces while keeping it in sync, backed up, and easily accessible from within or outside the lab is even more demanding. To minimize the time and effort scientists have to spend on these tasks, we offer the GIN (G-Node Infrastructure) services, a free and open data management system designed for comprehensive and reproducible management of neuroscientific data.

In short: GIN gives you a lot of possibilities while minimizing the time and effort you need to invest. It helps you to:

#### Manage your research data
* **Upload** and **access** your data **anywhere**, **anytime**: Because your data is stored within repositories, any changes you make whether locally or online can be easily tracked and thereby you can keep your data in **sync**.

#### Version your data

  • When changing your files and uploading them to the server, the history is automatically kept, you can always go back to a previous version.

#### Share your data

  • Collaborating with others in GIN is incredibly easy: you can assign specific read-only / read-write permissions for particular users, make your data publicly available or even citable with GIN's own DOI service:
  • A DOI can be obtained after a couple of easy steps: uploading the data, making the repository public, creating a DOI metadata file and finally requesting the DOI with a mouse click. See details here.

On top of all these features, GIN is flexible, free and open source! You can use it locally, online or even set up your own in-house instance.

FAQ, Troubleshooting, and further questions

If you run into any problems during setup or usage of the GIN services, we would invite you to first check out the FAQ. If this does not solve your problem, then we would be happy to help you out in person! You can contact us via email (gin@g-node.org).
