Overview
The Center for Open Science (COS) seeks to promote openness, integrity and reproducibility of research. It offers free, open source products and services that support the research life cycle and improve the reproducibility of research findings. Current efforts in the area of research transparency have focused on Western researchers. African scholars are being increasingly left behind as they are not being exposed to new best practices.This project would provide a planning grant for COS to test approaches for bringing their services to African researchers. COS will pilot three interventions and use the results from these pilots and input from its advisory board to develop a strategic plan for expanding their services to Africa.
