Working with OSF?

The OSF is an open-source project management tool that supports researchers throughout their entire project lifecycle. As a collaboration tool, OSF helps research teams work on projects privately or make the whole project publicly accessible for broad dissemination. As a workflow system, OSF enables connections to the many scientific tools researchers already use, streamlining their process and increasing efficiency. You may even use OSF as a portfolio tool for sharing your work as a prepublication with potential collaborators.

In this training we will go over the basics in working with OSF, such as creating projects, managing them, adding metadata, preregistering your project and preprints.

You can check out OSF at https://osf.io/ and sign in via institution with your VUnetID. 

This workshop is open for members of the AURORA Network

Room: NU-02A-55 (or online)

What to expect?

The RDM Tools day is a day of training for researchers and support staff at VU. It consists of a few separate workshops for which you can sign up, all consisting of one hour. Coffee, tea and cookies will be present.

Who should attend?

Everyone interested in the topics RDM tools, storage and archiving is warmly welcome to attend. If you are a new researcher at VU Amsterdam these workshops can help you getting started with the software for your upcoming research.

About the Training Days

Research Support and Training Days are bi-yearly events to help colleagues from different departments learn about the topics like Research Data Management and Open Science, and about each other’s work! At the VU, the expertise in Research Data Management (RDM) and Open Science (OS) is distributed across several parts of the organisation, such as the Library, IT, Legal, IT for Research, Security, Education Affairs. As the RDM and OS landscapes are rapidly evolving, and new colleagues join the Network on a regular basis it is important to make sure that our knowledge base is up to date and that we allow us time to celebrate Open Science. 

We are eager to do this Training Days together with you! If you have ideas for a thematic session, a workshop, a poster or maybe a pub quiz - please let us know and join our enthusiastic organisers' team. Drop an email Tycho Hofstra t.m.hofstra@vu.nl for more information.
