Describe what experience you have in running user-login and
submission systems.
OSF uses Central Authentication Service (CAS) software to provide users
secure, single sign-on (SSO) to access multiple research applications
(preprints, branded preprints, registries, meetings, institutions) while
providing login and password credentials only once. Because CAS supports
multiple authentication protocols including SAML, OSF provides
institutions (e.g., University of Notre Dame) and other services (e.g.,
ORCID) the ability for their users to use their institutional
credentials to access OSF services. Additionally, OSF offers two-factor
authentication for added account security.
OSF offers easy mechanisms for deposit of research content of any kind an email submission service for
meetings and a structured workflow for
submission of preregistrations. Most relevant for The Commons COS developed a simple guided
workflow for submitting preprints that extends to all the branded preprint services it hosts. The preprint submission workflow is easily followed by authors wishing to submit directly from authoring services such as Overleaf Authorea or Manuscripts.
