What is OSF? The OSF is an open-source project management tool that supports researchers throughout their entire project lifecycle. As a collaboration tool, OSF helps research teams work on projects privately or make the whole project publicly accessible for broad dissemination. As a workflow system, OSF enables connections to the many scientific tools researchers already use, streamlining their process and increasing efficiency. You may even use OSF as a portfolio tool for sharing your work as a prepublication with potential collaborators. You can check out OSF at https://osf.io/ and sign in via institution with your VUnetID. OSF is already in use by multiple researchers at the VU, for example, by Rene Bekkers: https://osf.io/2zmga/ . You can also watch back the presentations about OSF by Jacek Buczny and Anita Eerland. ## Workshop Resources: ## * OSF Workshop Pre-survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd1hoBcD3lJdurtCXm8_dB6_9dwF0uQmk1-p8PJnjy_oPIAkg/viewform?usp=sf_link * OSF Project for hands-on practice: https://osf.io/3c6a7/ * Slides: https://osf.io/3c6a7/files/googledrive * Shared Notes Document: [VU Workshop Shared Notes - 20231129][1] [1]: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OaSORDtV7gTHYDuo8U3K4xRge5dNQzefh8foIR467ak/edit
