Open Science Framework: Increasing Reproducibility Across the Entire Research Lifecycle

Over the past few years there has been a growing concern about the reproducibility and replicability of scientific work. This has lead to calls for increased research transparency and sharing, and new funder and journal mandates related to openness and documentation. This workshop will introduce the Open Science Framework, a free, open source web tool developed by the Center for Open Science to help researchers manage the entire research lifecycle: document and archive studies, share and get credit for their work, collaborate efficiently with research partners, and increase transparency.

As part of this hands-on workshop, attendees will learn how to utilize the features of the OSF to increase the reproducibility of scientific research projects, and more easily comply with funder and journal mandates related to data management and sharing. Participants will create a reproducible project from start to finish, and learn how to tailor the OSF experience to work most efficiently for their research needs.
