What do you like best about Open Science Framework?

The platfrom has some sorted and advanced tools for making the data well organised and managed properly.

Tracking the work and the project in your organisation, that how much of your work has been completed.

Handling and tracking of complicated tasks and projects at one location is quite helpful and gets easier with this platform.

The documentation management has become so capabale in this platform, and shaing and uploading files on publishing platforms and data storing softwares is quite easy and efficient.

The easy access to the files and documents created and generated under this platform is easy, as the software is cloud based and works on your companies server so it is easy to access it any time.

BEst tool in the market for data analysis and researchers team.

There is evena feature of accessing your emails and having the ability of sending mails by integrating the mailing feature with this application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open Science Framework?

Sometimes it has been experienced or seen that the pages of the website takes longer than expected due to poor internet connectivity and server down issue.

The developer of the platform needs to improve the layour and the tool arrangement in this platform a little bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open Science Framework solving and how is that benefiting you?

The platfrom had helped us a lot in handling and managing multiple datasets and mailing data all at one location. Being able to manage all the project work and portfolios data at one place. Saving a lot of our time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Open Science Framework?

I used Open Science Framework to pre-register research studies, which holds me accountable when it's time to report results. I also like that it consolidates all my research questions in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open Science Framework?

I wish OSF would automatically add information from other research sites like Research Gate. It would be nice to store all publications in the same place as my original hypotheses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open Science Framework solving and how is that benefiting you?

OSF provides a place to manage and pre-register research projects. It holds researchers (including myself) accountable by recording the initial details of your project and ensuring you follow those procedures when analyzing your data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Open Science Framework?

There is enough support and background to figure out how to use the various parts. The community is also robust. Also, it makes it possible to have a project "as open as possible" (to quote the Swedish National Data Service.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open Science Framework?

Deceptively simple, yet it's challenging to be completely new to Open Science in general - and to wrap your head around its many layers. It's hard to change one's basic frame of reference, one's habit of mind, to first think about reproducibility when building a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open Science Framework solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's a central place, with DOI utility, for teams to share their work with the world as well as among themselves. We used it to keep track of our projects' basic components and help everyone use the same project protocols. This is especially useful as we work with students who are both novices as well as short-term members of our teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Open Science Framework?

OSF is one of the accepted platforms where researchers can register their review protocols. This is free and the protocol will be assigned with a DOI and can be set for public view. Most of the reputed journals accept protocol registration in OSF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open Science Framework?

The interphase for registration can be made user friendly. It took me a long amount of time to figure out the registration process. Screenshots are advised as regular instructions are not that clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open Science Framework solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am registering my systematic review and scoping review protocols in OSF. Since PROSPERO does not allow registration of scoping review, OSF is a great alternative I use which is acceptable for reputed journals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Open Science Framework?

The Open Science Framework is great for uploading your research articles or proposals without the peer-review system, which might make motivational challenges. Once you upload, your can also share your research idea or perhaps collaborate. It is an essential integrated platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open Science Framework?

I have not encountered a real problem with Open Science Framework. It is an effective management tool that helps researchers implement their projects by going through different cycles of their projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open Science Framework:

It is an excellent tool for researchers who want to share their research ideas with others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open Science Framework solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Open Science Framework is a great management tool for sharing research ideas or proposals. The significant benefit of the OSF for me has been the pre-registration, which helped to learn how the scientific learning process works and how I can best advance the research in my area.

What do you like best about Open Science Framework?

Open science framework is greate for helping to stay organized and on top of things when it comes to publishing research papers. Additionally it is useful for keeping track of things in the more complicated process of research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open Science Framework?

Open science framework is still new and upcoming and therefore not widely used or even agreed that it should be used. This product should be more accessible and the research community should set guidelines to utilize this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open Science Framework solving and how is that benefiting you?

Open science framework is beneficial in that with it, researchers have a preset plan already with established hypotheses and can carry out their research and know it can be replicated because they already composed a document detailing how it can be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Open Science Framework?

You can upload all your articleswithout judges who unjustly deem your work unworthy of publication. All your articles will have a DOI number, a very important thing, because so it isn't just a deposit for yourself, but OSF give value to your works.

On OSF Independent Research is really supported! You don't have to be supported by organizations, institutions or universities to make your productions known. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open Science Framework?

Hasn't peer review version to upload and to have your work professionally evaluated. There isn't a journal with articles' official publication.

I think an official OSF journal, in which are published certain articles selected among the most relevant ones, would be an interesting integration and could give a great contribute to the Independent Research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open Science Framework:

To all Independent Researchers: use OSF service, you'll not be dissatisfied and there are no impossible requirements to have. Your researches will be appreciated and you'll can share your articles everywhere with DOI! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open Science Framework solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was looking for a pre-prints server where I could freely upload my work, but all the others I had met before required a favorable judgement of the revisionists.

Now, finally, I found the right place where I could freely spread the knowledge, without having high people connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Open Science Framework?

Arrange your files, keep them in cloud, share them with teammate it’s a simply way to use this application.

I also appreciated the ease of use of your files and searches, always at hand and viewable at any time.

You can also view any external projects that are assigned to you, so that you can edit them and maybe send them back to the sender.

Really very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open Science Framework?

Sincerely there’s nothing I noticed as “wrong” in this platform. Maybe latency of files upload, but I can’t say it depends to OSF.

Sometimes it seems complex which project you are following and you have to search for it among those in progress, then carrying out several steps before arriving at the desired project. Research, however, works well. Overall, nothing to complain about and I find it very useful for those who need such equipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open Science Framework:

This open source platform is very useful for collaborations in scientific research. It offers everything necessary to be able to reproduce a project, verify it, modify it, fix it, update it and send it so that it can be evaluated and examined both by collaborators and by appointments and by externals if you make it public. Excellent platform for those dealing with these types of projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open Science Framework solving and how is that benefiting you?

Good storage of my files. I can save my important documents without lose them.

Thanks to the large community that is registered, you always have the opportunity to compare yourself with others. They are all willing to help you if you encounter difficulties Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Open Science Framework?

It is an application that we use in the company to save extremely important data in the cloud, and when we need to modify some of the information or reports that we save there, this system has modified options, it is quite useful to reinforce the information security of The company, and even people, has a work screen very easy to work and that meets all the necessary requirements to make our office a more organized place, technical support or assistance is super attentive and effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open Science Framework?

One of the errors that we get in the software is that in some intances they did not load or they were stuck, or simply they were stuck, a boy of the technical service clarified to us that this error could be due to the internet connection, however it I check the connection and everything was in order, in addition to this the files are sometimes deleted, or the modifications are not saved, but failures that happen very exporadically, so it is not something alarming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open Science Framework:

It is a really useful tool, to improve the security of your files since they can be backed up in the cloud and even if your physical equipment damages all the files will be saved, it is really useful in this sense, anyone who decides to use it is not going to regret anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open Science Framework solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before applying this system, if a computer was damaged it had to pay high costs in technical support to try to recover information, now thanks to this software the cost within each department was considerably minimized and the information saving part was greatly reinforced It has been so useful that it is unimportant not to want to work with him at all times, it gives us a lot of confidence, and it is extremely profitable.

What do you like best about Open Science Framework?

I find it a very useful application to save data in the cloud and thus keep all records stored so that when it is required to modify something there is this, in addition to the simple and practical interface that makes it very easy to save any type of document with very easy Another aspect to highlight is its excellent compatibility with all browsers and with all types of documents which makes it easier to save documents Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Open Science Framework?

It really is a very useful and very complete application to save all kinds of information in the cloud, it has some failures when saving certain documents and to put names or connection failures when saving the documents they are deleted which is quite annoying because it means you have to rewrite it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Open Science Framework:

if they could improve the storage system it would greatly improve the application and also improve the connection so that the application works better in low-latency networks so that there is better backup in case any document is lost there may be the option to recover it or restore it at one point previous to be able to recover lost files and not have to rewrite them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Open Science Framework solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since its implementation, it has facilitated the way to keep all the information of the company and thus maintain control with all the movements that make and all the decisions made in the company, without doubt one of the best applications to record information in the cloud Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
