**Overview**
RDM touches every aspect of the research life cycle and good RDM includes connecting research data to the processes and inquiries that generate a research question, the tools used to collect, clean, and analyze data, and the myriad of outputs used to disseminate these findings. However, working with multiple platforms, services, and tools makes discrete connections between these objects and across the research life cycle challenging. OSF allows you to draw these linkages and identify where each facet of the research life cycle and your data interact. Bibliographies, protocols, data collection tools, scripts or code, data, posters, manuscripts etc - OSF offers one landing place to connect every aspect of your research project.
