The above services should be promoted to the community of users
(life scientists, developers, funders and institutions, etc) in order to
increase awareness and adoption.
See Section #8. (page 23)
Other proposed functionality for The Commons (from Preprint
Commons: Human Interface 2c.)
[Done: COS] The following are some additional
features available to the The Commons that are already in production:
- File organizing interface
- Versioning of preprints
- Infrastructure scalability for high concurrency
- Integration of preprint with the research lifecycle
- Living projects with private and public components linked to the
preprint for ongoing deposit and management of data, code, and other
research activities
- Enriched permissions system for authors
- Notifications for authors/users
- Download files as a zip from the project
- View-only links for sharing private parts of the project linked to
others – e.g., making private data and code available for peer
review when the preprint is submitted
- Institutional login (150+ institutions by start of grant period)
- Sharing preprint and files on social media
- Activity logs for preprint project history
- SPAM detection
- Google Scholar optimization
- Automated citation generation with multiple formats
- API integration with data storage solutions and repositories (e.g.,
direct surfacing of data and figures stored on figshare with the
hosted preprint)
[ToDo: COS] The OSF scholarly commons is in
continuous development. The development priorities for this public goods
infrastructure is in COS’s Strategic
Plan. Because of the modular design, improvements benefit all services
using it.
