File naming, when done in a well-organized fashion, can contribute to project documentation, workflow organization, and sharing. Establishing naming conventions for your files and using them consistently will ensure maximum access to your data and records. Use the **[File Naming Checklist][1]** to help you and your team develop naming conventions for lab or projects. Naming conventions should be documented so that everyone can follow the implemented standards! [1]: https://osf.io/dpu45/
