Open Science Framework

The Center for Open Science (COS) is a non-profit technology organization dedicated to enhancing the openness, integrity, and reproducibility of scientific research. Its flagship product, the Open Science Framework (OSF), is a free and open-source project management repository that supports the entire research lifecycle. OSF allows researchers to collaborate, document, archive, and share their data and materials across various disciplines, including the life sciences and psychology. By providing tools for preregistration and open data sharing, COS aims to address the reproducibility crisis in modern science. The organization partners with journals, funders, and academic institutions to promote transparent research practices globally. COS also develops infrastructure for preprints and registries to support open scholarly communication.
