TL Dr Shuichi Onami and Prof. Jason Swedlow (University of Dundee, UK) along with Global Bioimaging, an international consortium of the leading experts in bioimaging communities, released recommendations for bioimage data format standards and open access image data repositories. These recommendations contribute to accelerating the development of the bioimaging field through data sharing.
