Have you thought about preregistering your study?

Are you in the process of planning a research project? If so, have you considered preregistering your study on the [Open Science Framework (OSF)[(https://help.osf.io/article/342-getting-started-on-the-osf)? OSF is a widely used, free platform for preregistration, helping researchers clarify their research questions, methods, and analysis plans in advance — supporting transparency and research integrity.

If you’re new to OSF, or have heard of it but aren’t quite sure how to use it, a great place to start is the OSF Getting Started page, which includes an introductory video and links to further training and tools.

If you have questions about using OSF — whether for data storage, preregistration, or preprint deposits — the Open Science Ambassadors are happy to help. Get in touch at open@oxcin.ox.ac.uk.
