We’re running a new webinar series this year called the OSF Essentials: Monthly Deep Dive, and we wanted to make sure you knew about it.
Each session is a focused, 45-minute deep dive on a specific OSF topic such as search, metadata, licensing, preregistration, and the API. Sessions are led by members of the OSF team, and we’ll point you to relevant help guides and resources along the way so you have everything you need after the session ends.
The schedule runs from March through October. You’re welcome to join one session or as many as are relevant to your work. |
