BY PROMOTING TRANSPARENCY AND ACCESSIBILITY, OSF ENABLES RESEARCHERS TO ADVANCE AND VALIDATE THEIR WORK MORE EFFECTIVELY.IN 2024, OSF EXPERIENCED CONTINUED GROWTH, WITH 121,594 NEW USERS, 105,868 NEW PUBLIC PROJECTS, REGISTRATIONS, AND PREPRINTS, NEARLY 30 MILLION VIEWS OF HOSTED CONTENT, AND 50 MILLION FILE DOWNLOADS.COS IMPLEMENTED KEY ENHANCEMENTS TO STREAMLINE WORKFLOWS AND IMPROVE USABILITY, INCLUDING: (I) BOA, A TOOL FOR LARGE-SCALE DATA MINING; (II) CEDAR INTEGRATION TO SUPPORT CUSTOM FAIR METADATA; AND (III) A REVAMPED PREPRINTS INTERFACE TO SIMPLIFY SUBMISSIONS AND ENHANCE DISCOVERABILITY.COS ALSO EXPANDED ITS MODULAR TRAINING PROGRAM TO HELP RESEARCHERS ADOPT OPEN SCIENCE PRACTICES WITH GREATER EASE AND CONFIDENCE. 1745341 115885 250 METASCIENCE:AS METASCIENCE GAINS GLOBAL TRACTION, COS HELPED COORDINATE AND ACCELERATE THE FIELD THROUGH THE LAUNCH OF THE METASCIENCE ALLIANCE. THE ALLIANCE SERVES AS A COLLABORATIVE HUB CONNECTING RESEARCHERS, FUNDERS, INSTITUTIONS, PUBLISHERS, POLICYMAKERS, INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDERS, AND OTHERS WORKING TO STRENGTHEN THE SCIENTIFIC ECOSYSTEM.THE ALLIANCE FOCUSES ON: (I) BUILDING COALITIONS THROUGH CONVENINGS, NETWORKING EVENTS, AND RESOURCES THAT CONNECT COMMUNITIES ACROSS DISCIPLINES AND SECTORS; (II) STRENGTHENING THE WORKFORCE BY SUPPORTING NEW CAREER PATHWAYS, OFFERING CROSS-SECTOR TRAINING, AND LAUNCHING PROGRAMS FOR POSTDOCTORAL AND EARLY-CAREER INNOVATORS; (III) ENABLING MATCHMAKING AMONG RESEARCHERS, FUNDERS, AND INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDERS TO DESIGN COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS; AND (IV) ALIGNING AND AMPLIFYING METASCIENCE EFFORTS TO REDUCE DUPLICATION AND ACCELERATE SHARED PROGRESS.COS ALSO CONTINUED TO ADVANCE ITS OWN METASCIENCE RESEARCH THROUGH PROJECTS SUCH AS THE OPEN SCHOLARSHIP SURVEY (OSS) AND PILOT INITIATIVES INCLUDING BENCHMARKING LLM AGENTS ON SCIENTIFIC TASKS, SMART: SCALING MACHINE ASSESSMENTS OF RESEARCH TRUSTWORTHINESS, AND THE REGISTERED REVISIONS PROJECT, WHICH EVALUATES INNOVATIONS IN PEER REVIEW.THE OPEN SCHOLARSHIP SURVEY (OSS) IS A STANDARDIZED, MODULAR TOOL USED TO ASSESS RESEARCHER ATTITUDES, BEHAVIORS, AND PERCEPTIONS REGARDING OPEN SCHOLARSHIP. IT IDENTIFIES KEY "GAPS"-- BETWEEN ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS, PERCEPTIONS AND NORMS, AND BARRIERS TO ADOPTION--THAT INFORM TARGETED INTERVENTIONS SUCH AS TRAINING AND INCENTIVE REFORM. IN 2024, COS DEPLOYED THE THIRD WAVE OF THIS LONGITUDINAL STUDY, TRACKING CHANGES IN RESEARCHER ENGAGEMENT WITH OPEN SCIENCE PRACTICES OVER TIME.ACROSS ITS INFRASTRUCTURE, POLICY, AND METASCIENCE INITIATIVES, COS CONTINUES TO ADVANCE A MORE TRANSPARENT, TRUSTWORTHY, AND COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH ECOSYSTEM. 1353216 131773 13750 POLICY/COMMUNITY:MOMENTUM FOR OPEN SCIENCE CONTINUED TO GROW IN 2024 AS GOVERNMENTS, FUNDING AGENCIES, AND INSTITUTIONS STRENGTHENED REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSPARENCY AND REPRODUCIBILITY. COS'S TRANSPARENCY AND OPENNESS PROMOTION (TOP) GUIDELINES, FIRST INTRODUCED IN 2015, RECEIVED A MAJOR UPDATE IN 2024. THE REVISED VERSION CLARIFIED STANDARDS, REFINED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES, AND REINFORCED THE IMPORTANCE OF DATA SHARING, PREREGISTRATION, AND REPLICATION IN RESEARCH ASSESSMENT--FURTHERING COS'S ROLE IN ADVANCING CREDIBLE AND TRANSPARENT SCIENCE.COS WORKED WITH RESEARCH COMMUNITIES TO MAKE OPEN SCIENCE THE EVERYDAY NORM FOR CREDIBLE RESEARCH. THROUGH TARGETED CULTURE CHANGE INITIATIVES, COS CATALYZED THE ADOPTION OF OPEN PRACTICES WITHIN SPECIFIC DOMAINS. TWO MAJOR 2024 EFFORTS INCLUDED: (I) THE GLOBAL FLOURISHING STUDY, INCORPORATING DATA FROM MORE THAN 200,000 PARTICIPANTS ACROSS 22 COUNTRIES, AND (II) THE INSTAGRAM DATA ACCESS PILOT SELECTED FOUR RESEARCH TEAMS FROM OVER 40 SUBMISSIONS.BOTH INITIATIVES INTEGRATED CORE OPEN SCIENCE PRACTICES--SUCH AS PREREGISTRATION AND REGISTERED REPORTS--INTO THEIR DESIGN, SETTING A NEW STANDARD FOR TRANSPARENCY AND COLLABORATION IN LARGE-SCALE RESEARCH.IN 2024, COS ALSO LAUNCHED LIFECYCLE JOURNAL, A NEW PUBLISHING PLATFORM THAT REDEFINES SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION BY ALIGNING RECOGNITION WITH TRANSPARENCY AND RIGOR. LIFECYCLE JOURNAL EVALUATES RESEARCH BASED ON METHODOLOGICAL QUALITY AND OPENNESS RATHER THAN NOVELTY ALONE, REWARDING ROBUST AND REPRODUCIBLE WORK THROUGHOUT THE RESEARCH LIFECYCLE. 7436425 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 17 0 1 57 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X MELISSA ALDRIDGE 4342140523 6218 GEORGIA AVE NW STE 1 UNIT 3189 WASHINGTON DC 20011 GEORGE BANKS CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 REBECCA SAXE VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JON HILL TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MATTHEW BUYS MEMBER-AT-LARGE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELAINE CHEN MEMBER-AT-LARGE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ADIB CHOUDHURY MEMBER-AT-LARGE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALISON MUDDITT MEMBER-AT-LARGE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAMIAN PATTISON MEMBER-AT-LARGE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSANNA-ASSUNTA SANSONE MEMBER-AT-LARGE 1.00 X 0 0 0 YVETTE SEGER MEMBER-AT-LARGE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELAINE WESTBROOKS MEMBER-AT-LARGE 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN NOSEK EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 252500 0 10100 LISA CUEVAS SHAW COO & MANAGING DIRECTOR 40.00 X 200028 0 8001 NICOLE PFEIFFER CHIEF PRODUCT OFFICER 40.00 X 179667 0 7187 OSMAND CHRISTIAN SR.
