The University has an institutional plan allowing all University staff to share their methods within a project.

The Open Science Framework is a free, open-source online tool that connects and supports the research workflow, enabling scientists to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their research.

The OSF can be used by researchers, journals, institutions, funders and even for sharing academic meetings and conferences.

Researchers use OSF to collaborate, document, archive, share, and register research projects, materials, and data.

Launching in Spring 2022, Octopus is designed to replace journals and papers as the place to establish priority and record your work in full detail, Octopus will be free to use and will publish all kinds of scientific work, including hypotheses, methods, data, an analysis or a peer review.

Octopus encourages meritocracy, collaboration and a fast and effective scientific process and is created in partnership with the UK Reproducibility Network, Jisc, and Research England.
