Short introduction

OSF

The OSF is a free web app that supports project management and collaboration, connects services across the research lifecycle, and archives data, materials, and other research objects for private use or public sharing. The Center for Open Science launched new features for the OSF to provide a more efficient user experience within the institutional environment. Through collaboration with institutions, COS is offering a branded, dedicated landing page to display all projects and users affiliated with your institution.

protocols

The protocols are dynamic and interactive on the platform. They are not just static PDFs but are “runnable” on the web and mobile (both iOS and Android), with the ability to follow a method step-by-step during an experiment, helping to perform the technique and to easily record all changes in the process. Even more importantly, all these methods can be discussed and improved on protocols.io, long after publication.
