As part of the ROARR2021 programme – a wonderful collaboration between OSCR and the Rotterdam R.I.O.T. Science Club – we will host an online workshop entitled Introduction to the Open Science Framework. Below the announcement:

WHAT
Introduction to the Open Science Framework.

WHEN
April 14th 2021 h. 14:00 CEST, duration 90’.

INSTRUCTOR
Dr. Antonio Schettino, experimental psychologist with a background in cognitive and affective electrophysiology, Coordinator Open Science at Erasmus Research Services and founder of the Open Science Community Rotterdam.

TARGET AUDIENCE
Researchers from all disciplines and career stages who wish to learn how to use the Open Science Framework for their own work.

WORKSHOP SUMMARY
To promote transparency and trustworthiness of research, an increasing number of funding agencies and journals encourage or require data, materials, and analysis scripts associated with each publication. Consequently, researchers are turning to comprehensive services that facilitate collaborative workflows with colleagues and evaluators. One of the most popular is the Open Science Framework (OSF), a free online platform developed by the non-profit organization Center for Open Science. The OSF allows researchers to manage, document, and share all the products of their workflow, from the preregistration of the initial idea to the preprint of the final report.

DESIRED OUTCOME
By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

  • set up a project;
  • invite other contributors;
  • add components;
  • fill out the wiki;
  • upload files directly or by connecting an external cloud service;
  • make the project public.

PREPARATION
An active OSF account is required (see registration page). The slide deck with a description of the features explored during the workshop can be found here.
