Drs. Perica, Kirkland, Squeglia, Mewton (The Matilda Centre), and other collaborators recently published a new paper titled "Identifying Impulsivity and Substance use Measures in Neuroimaging Datasets: a Scoping Review and Searchable Dataset Repository for Researchers".

This was an invited review for a special issue of Current Addiction Reports. In this scoping review, they identified 35 open-access neuroimaging datasets (ranging from 200–500,000 participants) that contain measures of impulsivity, substance use, and neuroimaging.

The team also compiled them into an interactive Shiny app so that other researchers can easily find them: https://gaylen-fronk.shinyapps.io/shiny_sud_impulsivity/. They discuss the ongoing issues in data sharing practices and suggest possible solutions for future data sharing.
