(COS) is a non-profit technology and culture change organization founded in
2013 with a mission to increase openness, integrity, and reproducibility of
scientific research. COS pursues this mission by building communities around
open science practices, supporting metascience research, and developing and
maintaining free, open source software tools. The OSF is a web application that
provides a solution for the challenges facing researchers who want to pursue
open science practices, including: a streamlined ability to manage their work;
collaborate with others; discover and be discovered; pre-register their
studies; and make their code, materials, and data openly accessible. Learn more
