\begin{abstract}
I present a checklist of acquisition parameters for inclusion in the
methods section of an fMRI paper. The current list expands and updates
the list that was given in the 2008 paper from Poldrack et al. (I have
reproduced below the section on acquisition that appeared in that 2008
paper.) The emphasis is on fMRI experiments that use 1.5 to 3 T scanners
with standard hardware available today, but the list should work
reasonably well for 7 T experiments as well. I further assume that fMRI
is performed with 2D multi-slice EPI or spiral scanning and uses BOLD
contrast, but parameter reporting for 3D sequences and other k-space
trajectories as well as non-BOLD contrast should be feasible. The first
full version of the checklist, version 1.1, was presented in January,
2013. Version 1.2 was released in December, 2014. This version is
denoted 1.3 and will be the final series 1.x release. Release notes for
this version appear below. The checklist was initially developed based
on my experience with Siemens scanners but I have attempted to use
generic descriptions as far as possible. Version 2.0 is planned for the
end of 2015 and will include vendor-specific nomenclature under each
parameter.%
