Overleaf in New Partnership with the Center for Open Science

This week Overleaf have announced a new partnership with The Center for Open Science (COS), a non-profit science and technology company in Virginia.

COS was founded in 2013 with a mission to increase openness, integrity, and reproducibility of scientific research. COS pursues this mission by building communities around open science practices, supporting metascience research, and developing and maintaining free, open source software tools.  The Open Science Framework (OSF), COS’s flagship product, is a web application that connects and supports the research workflow, enabling scientists to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their research. Researchers use the OSF to collaborate, document, archive, share, and register research projects, materials, and data.

Through this new partnership, Overleaf will support the automatic submission of manuscripts authored on their platform onto the new OSF Preprints service that COS is launching this autumn.

OSF Preprints is a free open source preprint platform built and maintained by COS through their OSF. It helps researchers to discover new research as it happens and enables them to receive quick feedback on their own research.

The Overleaf integration will initially be available on two OSF Preprints partner services, engrXiv and SocArXiv.
