The Center for Open Science is a non-profit technology organization based in Charlottesville, Virginia with a mission to "increase the openness, integrity, and reproducibility of scientific research."[1] Brian Nosek and Jeffrey Spies founded the organization in January 2013, funded mainly by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation and others.[2]

The organization began with work in reproducibility of psychology research, with the large-scale initiative Reproducibility Project: Psychology.[3][4][5] A second reproducibility project for cancer biology research has also been started through a partnership with Science Exchange.[6] In March 2017, the Center published a detailed strategic plan.[7] Brian Nosek posted a letter outlining the history of the Center and future directions.[8]

In 2020, the Center received a grant from Fast Grants to promote the publication of COVID-19 research on the platform.[9]

In 2021, the Center for Open Science was honored with the Einstein Foundation Award for Promoting Quality in Research [de] in the institutional category for their contribution to fostering research integrity and to improving transparency and accessibility.[10]

Open Science Framework

[edit]

Reproducibility project

[edit]

The Open Science Framework (OSF) is an open source software project that facilitates open collaboration in science research. The framework was initially used to work on a project in the reproducibility of psychology research,[11][12] but has subsequently become multidisciplinary.[13] The current reproducibility aspect of the project is a crowdsourced empirical investigation of the reproducibility of a variety of studies from psychological literature, sampling from three major journals: Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Psychological Science, and Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition. Scientists volunteer to replicate a study of their choosing from these journals, and follow a structured protocol for designing and conducting a high-powered replication of the key effect. The results were published in 2015.[14]

Preprints

[edit]

In 2016, OSF started three new preprint services: engrXiv, SocArXiv, and (with the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science) PsyArXiv.[15] It subsequently opened its own preprint server in 2017, OSF Preprints.[16] Its unified search function includes preprints from OSF Preprints, alongside those from other servers such as Preprints.org, Thesis Commons, PeerJ, and multiple ArXiv repositories.[17]
