Organizing and Sharing Your Work
Many DLF working groups and committees organize drafts and in-progress materials independently using GitHub and Google Drive. DLF’s Open Science Framework (OSF) repositories are good for finished white papers or other grey literature—especially documents for which you would like a DOI.
| “Knowing that things would always be in the Google Drive folder has been a lifesaver -- no digging through email looking for the right attachment, being able to be part of the conference call even when mobile, and super-easy linking in our One Doc to Rule Them All.” —Franny Gaede |
One of the best ways to share your work is by keeping Team DLF updated on your current activities, projects, and plans. If there is something you want us to promote on behalf of your group through DLF’s communication channels please tag us in social media, add it to the DLF Community Calendar, or let us know directly—we love to help DLF groups share their work!
