There were discussions on open research tools, improving credit attributions, the peer-review process and the path to adoption. -From the workshop I learned about some interesting tools for open research that are either new or just new to me, and it is exciting to see them. +During the workshop many efforts for open research were mentioned, and afterwards I was also made aware by more of them, like the following: -- [OSF](https://osf.io), an online research platform. Clean and simple interface with commenting, wiki, citation generation, DOI generation, tags, license generation etc. Like Github it supports private and public repositories (but defaults to private), version control, with the ability to fork or bookmark a project. -- [SciPost](https://scipost.org/), physics journals whose peer review reports and responses are public (peer-witnessed refereeing), and allows comments (post-publication evaluation). Like arXiv, it requires academic credential (PhD or above) to register. +- [OSF](https://osf.io), an online research platform.
