Important

VU Amsterdam advises researchers to no longer start new projects in OSF. The project functionality will cease to work as of 19 February 2027. Any projects expected to be active at that time will have to move to alternative tools in order to keep sharing research documents with colleagues.

The OSF pre-registration and pre-print functionality will remain unchanged.

For further information, contact: osfadmin@vu.nl

The following hierarchy of support options is available if you run into problems or have questions about using the OSF.

  1. Try the OSF Guides first, they are quite extensive. Quick start up guide for VU OSF users is available in the section Quick Start.

  2. If the answer to your question is not in the OSF Guides or if you run into a technical problem, you can contact OSF support directly via the contact form. As a member of OSF institutions, VU users receive priority support.

  3. Contact the RDM Support Desk if you have questions with regard to the operation of VU OSF or more general questions about Research Data Management.
