Open Science Framework (OSF)

Open Science Framework (OSF) is a free, open source web application built to help researchers manage their workflows.

File Revisions and Version Control

OSF has built-in version control and retains all copies of a file added to OSF.

OSF further provides access to versions of files stored on third-party storage providers. Some storage providers limit the number of previous versions saved; check with your storage provider to understand their policies and practices related to versioning.
