Copyright and Fair Use (from KSL)
Open Access is a set of principles and practices through which scholarly research outputs (e.g. peer-reviewed articles, conference papers, reports, monographs, datasets) are made freely available online to the public, without cost barriers to access or restrictions on reuse. Mechanisms for enabling open access to scholarship are numerous and include, among others, open access repositories, open access journals, and open access policies.
Open Science Framework: CWRU's data storage and project collaboration platform. OSF is an open source tool created and maintained by the Center for Open Science that allows for storing, sharing, and version control of all data types, documents, and files. Researchers at CWRU can create their own project pages to upload data, invite collaborators, and manage research workflows. With OSF, users can easily share data between platforms like Google Drive, Box, Github, and more. OSF also allows researchers to issue Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for their project as a whole or for individual files that make citing and providing access to datasets possible. Datasets or files assigned a DOI on OSF can be easily referenced and cited in corresponding Digital Case objects.
