UC Berkeley is now an OSF Member

The Open Science Framework (OSF) supports and enables reproducible open science, allowing researchers to manage the full lifecycle of their research projects in one place. OSF provides a platform for open research outputs including preprints through MetaArXiv, registrations and preregistrations; and project sites to host plans, results and related files. 

With UC Berkeley’s new OSF membership, you can now log in to OSF with your UC Berkeley CalNet login and password.

Connect your research

To affiliate your research, first visit osf.io and choose “sign in with my institution.”

Then select University of California, Berkeley from the drop-down on the next screen. You will be directed to login with your UC Berkeley CalNet login and password. Once you connect the first time, you can either login with your existing OSF username and password or with your CalNet.

Open your research

Conducting your research through the UC Berkeley OSFI platform is a strategic way to enhance transparency, foster collaboration, and increase the visibility of your research. It allows you to affiliate your public research with UC Berkeley on OSF and discover other affiliated research. If your research is not yet public, now might be a good time to consider sharing your existing or future work!

For more information, you can view help guides on signing in with your institution and affiliating your projects. You can also view the UC Berkeley affiliated research through our new landing page.
