The free, open source Open Science Framework (OSF;
http://osf.io) connects services across the entire research lifecycle to promote research efficiency and reproducibility. For example, OSF is integrated with storage providers like Box.com, Dropbox, Amazon S3, figshare, GitHub, Google Drive, and Dataverse, and citation management tools Zotero and Mendeley. However, there are hundreds of tools and services that researchers use everyday to create and manage research protocols, collect and analyze data, author manuscripts, submit and review articles, track impact, and search and discover others research.
Developers, we need you to help us connect all of these services! The Center for Open Science (COS;
http://cos.io) supports and maintains the OSF and has grants available to connect OSF with the tools and services that researchers use. See the list below for services that we have identified as high priority for integration. Complete our short proposal today to claim a grant to help us integrate them! Don’t see one that should be there? Suggest it!
