Open Science Framework (OSF) from the Centre for Open Science (COS) is a powerful new tool for supporting research here at the University of Edinburgh.
If you've already got an OSF account associated with your University email, then RDS have already emailed you with instructions for affiliating your account with our new service. If you haven't received them, please let the RDS team know via their email.
If you don’t have an OSF account yet, just go to https://accounts.osf.io/login and hit the “Sign in via Institution” button. Simply choose University of Edinburgh from the drop-down menu and you will be prompted to sign in with your university email and password.
In this lunchtime session, Gretchen Gueguen (Center for Open Science) will tell you all you need to know about Open Science Framework: what it is, how it works, and why it will be an excellent addition to your research toolbox.
Spoiler! It's a data sharing network designed to enhance collaborative research by providing centralized storage, integration, and sharing across the entire data lifecycle.
After Gretchen, Emma Wilson (UoE) will talk about her experience of using OSF for her projects: the benefits, the possibilities, the opportunities.
Gillian Currie and Eirini Theofanidou round off the session with an outline of the training they can offer for OSF beginners: get set up, get organized, get collaborating.
