OSF - The Open Science Framework

OSF now includes support for a data curator to collaborate on your project.

To request a data curator be added to your project with the "Curator" role, please send an email to the Freedman Center for Digital Scholarship indicating your interest in data curation.

The curator will be able to view the files on your project to ensure compliance with data standards, but will not be listed as a bibliographic contributor to your project. The administrator of the project can change or revoke the curator permissions as needed.

Need some assistance? The OSF maintains a thorough, extensive, and detailed set of guides and FAQs at help.osf.io.

They have targeted guides to assist with:

• Creating and managing accounts
• Making and organizing projects
• Collaborating with other researchers
• Managing files and data on your project
• Institutional OSF accounts
• and many other topics

At Case Western Reserve University, the Kelvin Smith Library serves as the primary information source and point of contact for guidance on how and why to use the OSF.

Dr. R. Benjamin Gorham (rxg498@case.edu), the Research Data Specialist at KSL, is happy to answer questions you may have regarding:

• Making an account
• Creating projects and components
• Connecting add-ons
• Collaborators and permissions
• Sharing data
• Templates, forking, and registrations
• General best practices
