OSF
Dear OSF User,

Over the next several months, changes will be made to project functionality on OSF. The Center for Open Science will phase out OSF Projects workflows November 16, 2026 through February 19, 2027. As part of this transition:
  • Beginning November 16, 2026: You will no longer be able to create new OSF Projects or child components within existing projects.
  • Beginning February 19, 2027: All OSF Projects will be read-only. You will continue to have access to all project materials, but no further changes or additions can be made. All public links and DOI identifiers to content will remain so that shared content is persistent, discoverable, and accessible.
The OSF will continue to host and expand features for:
  • Study planning and preregistration
  • Sharing papers and preprints
  • Linking plans, data, materials, code, papers, and other research contents together
Learn more about the reasons for this change and actions you can take at https://www.cos.io/osf-changes.

We are sorry for the disruption that this will create for managing your research. We thank you for your support of OSF and look forward to continuing to increase openness, integrity, and trustworthiness of research with you.

Sincerely,


The OSF Team
