OSF Changes: A Note to Users

The Center for Open Science announced a significant change to the Open Science Framework (OSF). This post shares what led to the change, implications, and what's next.

Over the next several months, we will phase out some popular OSF features. These changes do not affect current public content, which remains safe and accessible. We have prepared support material to help users adapt. I am very sorry for the disruption to your work. Please read this post for details.

It is now August. The Australian government still hasn't replied to the official petition on tax discrimination against part-time PhD students it should have, by its own rules, replied to by last January @arc-tracker.bsky.social (But we are told they care! Promised!) www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

I gave my confirmation talk today as part of the #HPS Seminar series at @unimelb.edu.au. What a start to my PhD! A pilot study on funded grants, 2 SNA pilots & a chapter on the history of the #metascience community. Thanks to all those in the room & on zoom. Full SNA & ethnography next!

After a break, The HPS Podcast is back for Season 6! 🎙️ In our first episode, I'm joined by Dr. Magdalena Skipper, Editor-in-Chief of Nature, for a conversation about trust in science, transparent peer review, COVID-19's legacy, & the inequities that continue to shape who gets published.

Teaching is an honour and a privilege. I’m incredibly lucky to be entering my 5th year of teaching at the University of Melbourne and 2026 sees me teaching across 3 faculties in undergrad and postgrad subjects. Acknowledgment like this is the icing on the cake. bit.ly/4r9LF3w

I don't use the AI tools on publisher sites, so it's not surprising that this message is disquieting, but surely as academics we SHOULD be reviewing the material directly so we don't miss any important information regardless of an AI summary. #academicsky #phdlife #aislop #darkacademia

Look out 2026, here I come!

“This LLM writes at a PhD Level” sounds a lot like, “This machine produces barista-grade coffee at the touch of a button”.

Thanks @catdavies.bsky.social, it was great to see critical #metascience at #metascience2025, it would have been better to see this integrated into all other sessions as part of the ongoing general discussion rather than an isolated and contained session.

Prof Cat Davies@catdavies.bsky.social · last yr.

Thanks for amplifying this tension, apparently realised starkly on day 2 (I'd left just before). Along these lines, the session on critical metascience on day 1 was great but inadvertently set out a simplistic dichotomy of pro/anti MS (as called out by @cjcontarino.bsky.social). 1/2

Being placed in exalted company like this gives me a lot to live up to. Thanks for the compliment @jamessteeleii.bsky.social it was great to catch up with you again. Let’s make the next one less than 2 years
