Improve Transparency and Rigor of Research

Create and submit your own registrations, or discover the research being done around you.

Establish a registry for your research community to facilitate greater rigor, transparency, and discoverability.

Create findable resources with DOIs and rich metadata fields. OSF Registrations ensure research is shared FAIRly, and assists with open policy compliance.

Make studies public immediately or set an embargo for up to 4 years. 

Manage your research after preregistering. Upload data, code, and other materials related to your work, then share your preprint when you’ve finished. Learn more about managing your workflow with osf.io and OSF Preprints.

Give your team access when and how they need it. Flexible permissions allow contributor participation across multiple project levels.

Track outputs and provide an interface where your researchers can quickly adopt the rigorous workflows required by your open policies.

Provide a community repository for exploring open data, preregistrations, and other transparent materials in your field.

Cultivate new norms for open sharing and collaboration among your community.

Your community designs the moderation policies, we provide a pre-acceptance moderation workflow and allow you to manage your team of moderators.

Moderators can quickly care for pending submissions in the registry moderator dashboard or follow the status of actions taken on submitted content.

An intuitive moderator interface and workflows allow your registry moderators to efficiently accept, reject, or withdraw submissions according to the criteria established in your moderation policies.
