Elevate Your Research: Connect, Sync, and Shine

[Open Science Framework]

View in browser We recently shared tips on how to connect your work on the Open Science Framework (OSF) to boost its visibility. Here's how you can make the most of your research: Tip 1. Build a Cohesive Research Network Connect your projects, preprints, data, and registrations on OSF to create a clear picture of your research journey, making it easier for others to understand and appreciate your contributions. Do This: Use DOIs to link your resources and create a seamless user experience. Connect resources to your preprint Connect resources to your registration Watch Tutorial Tip 2. Sync OSF with Your ORCID Profile Connect your OSF research to your ORCID profile to ensure your contributions are easily found and attributed to you. This will help you connect with potential collaborators and readers. To get started: Create an ORCID account Sign in to OSF through ORCID Enable automatic updates via Datacite Watch Tutorial Tip 3: Improve Discoverability with Clear Metadata Add clear metadata like funding sources, resource types, and keywords to your OSF projects, registrations, and preprints to improve discoverability. Try This: Edit the metadata for your projects, registrations, and preprints directly on OSF Watch Tutorial By taking these steps, you’ll ensure that your research is connected, synced, and easily discoverable by other researchers. Give it a try and see how it boosts your visibility! Want to learn more about using OSF to support sharing and discovery of your research? Check out our upcoming OSF webinars!
