We are about a month away from releasing a complete refresh of the OSF user interface. The team has been working on this for a very long time, and we are very excited to be able to share it soon. A preview picture:

Exciting news! @metaror.bsky.social has joined Lifecycle Journal's growing list of evaluation service partners, & will review & assess metaresearch submissions. Under LJ's innovative model of scholarly communication, research is published first, then openly reviewed. 🔎: lifecyclejournal.org/about/

Now available in final form without the "uncorrected proof" background image disrupting your pleasure reading.

🧪BREAKING: NIH has laid out 5 options for funding publications costs on grants (yes, FIVE!). This is hugely impactful. Make your opinions known by September 15, fellow scientists. 🧪 grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

🗣️ ICYMI: Lifecycle Journal is open for submissions! Learn more: lifecyclejournal.org/submission-g...

@cos.io also recently launched a journal that puts a whole project from conception to publication (including multi-stage review) in one place called the Lifecycle Journal. If Registered Revisions is like a mini registered report, Lifecycle Journal is like a mega one. lifecyclejournal.org

Hi folks! Want to reintroduce a thing I'm leading at @cos.io: the Registered Revisions (meta) Trial. This project about new peer review policy and a WILD new way of doing actionable evidence generation via RCTs. A LOT of RCTs. Now piloted and ready for the main stage, and looking for partners! 🧵👇

Lifecycle Journal offers a new way to share and evaluate research: open, accountable, and designed to support rigorous work across the full research lifecycle. Dr. Keith’s experience highlights how diverse evaluations and a transparent publishing process can advance scientific progress.

The OSF was designed to make open scholarship possible and easy to adopt. As the role of AI in research continues to evolve, COS is assessing how our infrastructure can deter AI misuse and help researchers share their work in transparent, responsible ways. 🔗 Read more: www.cos.io/blog/eval...

At this year's Open Science Conference in Hamburg we will bring into focus the intersection between Open Science and AI. On-site as well as online participation are possible. Register now! Further information and registration: www.open-science-conference.eu #OSC2025
