OSF (Open Science Framework) is a free platform for hosting and collaborating on datasets, documentation, and research results to make research more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.) In this workshop, we will tour OSF, discuss the principles of open science in our fields, and work through a sample project together.
Note: OSF also has a sub-site, OSF Registries, for pre-registering studies and systematic reviews. This class will not discuss preregistration in detail, but the underlying website architecture is the same.
Upon completing this class, you should be able to:
- Discover and download data through OSF
- Manage collaborators and permissions for a research project
- Organize your data, documentation, and code with components within a project
- Track changes to your project by using version control
