Open Science Framework (OSF) Refreshers

The Open Science Framework (OSF) is a free, open source project management and collaboration tool that supports researchers throughout the entire research lifecycle - from planning, to conducting, to reporting, and discovering research. OSF is part of the NIH Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI).

 

 

 

 

OSF connects the valuable research tools you already use, so you can effectively share the story of your research project and eliminate data silos and information gaps. The OSF allows all of those tools to work together, removing barriers to collaboration and knowledge. Add-ons are trusted third-party software that is compatible with the OSF. These add-ons are highly popular with users as the add-ons are often programs users are already personally using. Please see our types of add-ons below along with exploring the capabilities of OSF’s open API.

Citation Add-Ons: Citation software is an excellent way to collect and manage references within a research study. The OSF is compatible with Mendeley and Zotero.

Storage Add-Ons: Storage applications are a great way to store material on the OSF and even get around some OSF Storage caps. Please explore this section about the different storage add-ons that are compatible with the OSF.

API Integration: The OSF hosts an Open Application Programming Interface (API). With this API you can access users, projects, components, logs, and files from the Open Science Framework. The Open Science Framework (OSF) is a free, open-source service maintained by the Center for Open Science. To learn more about our API tool please visit this help guide section. 

NASA Transform to Open Science (TOPS) Curriculum

NASA TOPS Open Science 101 was developed by the global open science community to help everyone learn the key practical skills and useful tools that help us all work openly together. The original TOPS Open Science 101 curriculum is available through FORRT; you can find the revised curriculum on NASA’s Open Science 101 page. The curriculum is designed to be completed independently. The time commitment to complete all five modules is about 3 - 12 hours, depending on your knowledge of open science.

Upon completion, learners using the revised curriculum will earn a NASA Open Science digital badge and receive a NASA Open Science training listing on their ORCID profile.
