Welcome!

Welcome to UBC Okangan's OSF template.

Purpose

This template is a starting point to get participants familiar with some of the core functions of the OSF platform.

Structure

Different areas of research and different researchers each have their own project workflows and management needs. This template reflects a very basic research structure, assuming their will be:

• an analysis of the literature;
• a set of methods to record;
• data collection;
• and analysis of this data.

For a research project, one may wish to include a diagrammatic representation of their project to quickly grasp scope:

Instructions

To fork or duplicate this project, click the forking icon and select 'Fork this Project' or 'Duplicate template'.

To Fork or to Duplicate?

Forking a project will transfer over all content that is public and that you have permissions to. It maintains project structure and content. Wiki content and public, non-add-on files will be transferred. All forks are linked to each other through a citation.

You can choose this option if you already have all workshop files downloaded to your computer.

Duplicating a project transfers over only structure. No wiki content and no files will be copied. No link is maintained between the original and the duplicate.

Choose this option if you do not already have all workshop files downloaded to your computer.
