Nici Pfeiffer

Nici has been with Center for Open Science since 2015, leading the infrastructure vision and strategy to enable open science. Her focus is on open-source technology to support open practices in research workflows as part of a broader culture shift movement calling for openness, transparency, and reproducibility of research. As part of COS’s theory of change, OSF and it’s suite of product solutions to make open scholarship behaviors possible and to meet researchers where they are by lowering the barrier to entry for adoption of open practices are reinforced by complementary and interdependent policy and research activities. Reinforced through engagement with communities and stakeholders to change norms, incentives, and policies toward open scholarship and by investigating the state of the research culture to gather evidence in order to evaluate the effectiveness of technology and policy interventions.
