OSF · Center for Open Science
OSF (the Open Science Framework), built by the non-profit Center for Open Science, is a free, open project-management and collaboration platform for the research lifecycle. It supports preregistration, structured projects and components, file storage, and registrations, mints DOIs via DataCite, integrates ORCID for author identity, and connects to many external repositories and storage providers. Its contributor model and registration metadata make it relevant to CRediT contribution capture and to aligning project metadata with the CASRAI Dictionary.
What to use from CASRAI
Touchpoints
- 01Contributor list on projects / components — map to CRediT contribution roles
- 02Preregistration + registration metadata aligned with dictionary terms
- 03DataCite DOI minting for registrations and components
- 04ORCID integration for author identity; storage add-on links to repositories
Setup
Integration steps
- 1Reference the CASRAI Dictionary from /dictionary when structuring project metadata
- 2Record CRediT contribution roles for each contributor per /credit/for-authors
- 3Use OSF registrations / preregistration to capture study metadata
- 4Mint a DataCite DOI for the registration and cite it in resulting outputs
