With the advent of the computer age and in particular, the Internet, information sources have multiplied. However, the need for information verification has never been greater. In a day when anyone can easily produce a website, blog, or tweet, you can't believe what you read or see just because it's “published.” Scientific data and analysis require peer review, and peer-reviewed data need a home. Equally important, for every piece of data in a peer-reviewed publication, there are usually many pieces that provided essential support for the conclusions of the study but could not be included due to space limitations. This is especially true of image data, which are necessarily gigabyte-hungry.
