It allows for the management and sharing of research projects at all stages of research. It can integrate with many tools and services that may already be in use such as Box, Github, Google Drive, and many others so that you can continue to work within your existing workflow. Even though it has &#8220;open&#8221; in the name, projects on the OSF are private by default and making them open is optional.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) funding has enabled Kent to become a member of the OSF.
