SciTran is an open-source software project, started at Stanford University's VISTA Lab , and originally funded by the Simons Foundation . Designed to enable and foster reproducible research through data management and provenance tracking, the heart of SciTran is a Python-built RESTful API.

The SciTran API delivers efficient and robust organization, archiving, and sharing of scientific data. We have developed an ecosystem system for neuroimaging data, but our goal is to build a system that is flexible enough to accommodate all types of scientific data – from paper-and-pencil tests to genomics.

The SciTran codebase is now being developed and maintained by Flywheel , a commercial entity, founded by the original SciTran team. Meanwhile, the VISTA Lab group has transitioned its focus from developing SciTran core functionality to creating scientific applications that run within the SciTran framework, with a particular focus on reproducible methods in neuroscience research.
