# Open science practices Open science extends what this pack does for software to the whole research workflow: materials, data, analysis plans, manuscripts and reviews, open by default and closed only with reasons. For an agent the job is concrete plumbing, not advocacy: set up the platforms, wire the links between artifacts, and make each openness claim verifiable. The payoff structure is worth stating when relevant: preregistration protects claims from hindsight, preprints establish priority and speed feedback, open materials earn reuse and citations - openness is self-interest aligned with integrity. ## The OSF project as the hub The Open Science Framework (osf.io, run by the Center for Open Science) is the general-purpose spine for open projects: - Structure: one OSF project per study, with components for materials, data, analysis code and preregistration; connect the code repository rather than copying it (OSF links forges; the repository stays the working home - rseng-version-control-review). - Every component gets a persistent identifier and citation; wire these into the paper and the repository README so artifacts reference each other both ways (the same both-ways discipline as rseng-archiving). - Access control is per-component: public materials next to embargoed data next to private drafts is a normal shape - "as open as possible, as closed as necessary", with reasons stated (rseng-regulatory-compliance governs the closed parts). - OSF has a ...
