OSF, formerly known as the Open Science Framework, is a workflow management web application that provides a central landing place for project components that may be scattered across many different digital workspaces and might be owned by different people. OSF provides a central place to bring together collaborators, project files, and to track versions of things.
For this activity, you will learn about OSF and engage in a few activities to become familiar with the tool. Choose from one of two activities to complete:
- Attend a workshop on February 11 from 11am – 12pm on OSF
- Or review the UBC OSF Workshop Documents to complete the following:
- Create a UBC affiliated OSF Institions account using your CWL credentials, or a generic account if you’re with another institution.
