The Center for Open Science (COS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing openness, integrity, and reproducibility in scientific research. Founded in 2013, COS aims to facilitate transparency in research processes and outcomes through infrastructure, support, and advocacy. Its initiatives include the Open Science Framework (OSF), a free, open-source platform designed to enable researchers to collaborate on projects, manage their workflows, and share their findings openly. By promoting open science practices, COS seeks to enhance the credibility and reliability of scientific research.
