Just had an idea: does OSF support something like a simple database? I.e. you can make an API request and it will log & archive a bit of JSON for you? Or is there some other open service that can do that?

New study: 58% of studies #preregistered on #OSF before Nov 2017 have been conducted but not publicly shared. When asked why not, most authors cited lack of time or changing jobs "followed by null results & rejections during peer review." journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #OpenScience #ScholComm

A new study estimates that 58% of studies #preregistered on #OSF before November 2017 have been conducted but not yet publicly shared. "Emails asking researchers why studies remained unpublished, logistical issues (e.g., lack of time, researchers changing jobs) were the most common cause, followed by null results and rejections during peer review."

With the developments in the US - are data stored on the Open Science Framework (OSF) now in danger?

Should I migrate my materials somewhere else? If so, where?

I use the #OSF #preregistration tool extensively, but I don't find the online form suitable for drafting. Online collaboration, commenting, track changes, and version history is not possible. I've had bad experiences with simultaneous editing and the wrong user finalizing preregs as administrator.

In our lab we've transferred the online form to a Word file that we use an online file to plan the preregistration before copying it into the OSF form. It's available here in case it could be useful for others: osf.io/ufzra #OpenScience

We're excited to introduce a new OSF feature that makes it possible and easy for education researchers to make their research FAIR during our upcoming webinar on 05/23!

Joining us are experts from LDbase who will introduce their template and demonstrate how its use promotes FAIR sharing in education research. We will highlight the metadata value and explain how OSF makes it easy to make research FAIR.

We hope to see you there! Register to attend: cos-io.zoom.us/webinar/registe

#OSF #Metadata

I am not a fan of #OSF's decision to gatekeep #preprints at all. I understand that minting DOIs costs money, but moderating at the individual preprint level is just not the way to do that. I've been bounced from arXiv before for entirely arbitrary reasons, and the appeals process amounted to "show us when it's been accepted to a journal and we'll post it." All digital social spaces need some form of moderation, but closed pre-moderation of individual submissions is far from the only model, and is antithetical to "democratizing science" and the purpose of preprints: to share work without prior justification and validation of your work. The email here says preprints will be public at the time of submission, but the linked documents disagree, saying they will only be visible after moderation - not a promising start to a transparent moderation system.

The argument here is nonsense - who asked them to take on the mantle of protecting the scholarly impact metrics that keep us yoked to an extraordinarily exploitative publishing system? Was there rampant gaming of the system? Shouldn't that be a signal that the metrics are the problem, rather than signal a need for gatekeeping preprints? Presumably daddy Elsevier came knocking, but since there's no further explanation, we're left with nonsense - again not a promising start.

Many of us had hope that preprints would bring radical change to science, a transitional stage away from traditional journals, but since instead they increasingly want to act like traditional journals I suppose we'll need to keep moving. The only way through is to acknowledge half measures get us nowhere, and that the many-billion dollar for-profit publishing industry is not our friend.

Has this #OSF registration earned #badges or not?
As far as I can tell, there is another OSF project with shared data, but I don't see any manuscripts.

Love how the new Global Flourishing Study #gfs is making early data access available through @CenterforOpenScience #osf only to preregistered studies. This is a great step toward pulling #ReproducibleResearch and #opendata more reliably together. cos.io/blog/how-humanity-flour

@christof @seanfobbe I don't see a substantive online comparison of #Zenodo vs #OSF, and neither platform's FAQ mentions the 'competition'. Are they effectively equivalent? What might I be missing as an OSF user?

Hi friends! I was wondering if anyone would be willing to send me examples of people or groups using the #OSF in cool/helpful/interesting ways - this could be in any field, for any purpose. Feel free to post them in response to this thread or message me them privately. Thank you! #OpenScience
