As data sharing has become more prevalent, three pillars - archives, standards, and analysis tools - have emerged as critical components in facilitating effective data sharing and collaboration. This paper compares four freely available intracranial neuroelectrophysiology data repositories: Data Archive for the BRAIN Initiative (DABI), Distributed Archives for Neurophysiology Data Integration (DANDI), OpenNeuro, and Brain-CODE. These archives provide researchers with tools to store, share, and reanalyze neurophysiology data though the means of accomplishing these objectives differ. The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) and Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) are utilized by these archives to make data more accessible to researchers by implementing a common standard. While many tools are available to reanalyze data on and off the archives' platforms, this article features Reproducible Analysis and Visualization of Intracranial EEG (RAVE) toolkit, developed specifically for the analysis of intracranial signal data and integrated with the discussed standards and archives. Neuroelectrophysiology data archives improve how researchers can aggregate, analyze, distribute, and parse these data, which can lead to more significant findings in neuroscience research.
