A Better Way to Manage Your Research: Open Science Framework (OSF) at JMU

The Open Science Framework (OSF) is a free and open-source project management tool that supports researchers throughout the entire research lifecycle. Join this workshop to get an introduction to OSF and its capabilities, including the process of creating accounts, organizing projects, managing registrations, sharing data, and sharing preprints. Learn how OSF can enhance research transparency, improve data management, and support open access.

Practical examples of OSF projects will highlight the platform’s applications for data-focused research, collaboration, and reproducibility.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Understand how the Open Science Framework (OSF) supports research organization, collaboration, and transparency.
  • Create an OSF account and set up projects to manage various research materials, including data.
  • Register studies and pre-register research plans to enhance research integrity and reproducibility.
  • Organize and share files—such as datasets, analysis code, and documentation—within OSF projects.
  • Utilize preprints to make research findings openly accessible.
