OSF (Open Science Framework) is a free online tool that supports project management throughout the research lifecycle for all disciplines. Created and maintained by the Center for Open Science (COS), OSF provides free online space for researchers to store and share resources with collaborators. Moreover, you can connect OSF with other online tools to streamline workflow and to enhance efficiency.
Thanks to the Library's OSF institutional membership, researchers from the University of Chicago community can effortlessly create an OSF account using their CNet ID. Doing so will affiliate their projects with UChicago's OSF homepage and increase the projects' online visibility. Nevertheless, you can also create an OSF account using your ORCID iD or open an account directly with the COS. The video below provides an overview of what OSF has to offer.
OSF has provided a wealth of guides and videos on a wide array of topics. The following guides are especially helpful to new users.
