Open Science Framework

Open Science Framework

Developed by the non-profit, Center for Open Science, Open Science Framework (OSF), is a platform for publishing preregistrations and serves as the infrastructure for many preprint servers.

Service Details

  • Note: COS is discontinuing OSF Projects in February 2027. The platform will continue to support publishing preregistrations and preprints.
  • The Libraries' institutional license for OSF allows researchers to use Shibboleth Single Sign-On to access their accounts using their Andrew IDs. A public landing page showcases preregistrations and preprints published by CMU researchers on the platform.
  • If you already have an OSF account with a non-CMU email address, you can add your CMU email address to your existing account to benefit from our institutional license.
  • Researchers can publish a preregistration or registration to document their research plan in advance, improving the transparency of research. Learn more about how to publish preregistrations or registrations on OSF.
