OSF must evolve with a changing research system. Following our announcement this week about changes to OSF Projects, Lisa Cuevas Shaw and Nici Pfeiffer outline COS’s approach to building a more resilient OSF—the first post of this series on OSF's next chapter:

OSF’s Next Chapter: Building for Impact and Long-Term Resilience

The research system has evolved significantly since OSF launched. COS embraces this as an opportunity to build a more resilient foundation for open research that focuses OSF where it can have the most impact, partners with complementary infrastructure, and creates a long-term model.
