OSFI Metrics Dashboard
The OSFI Metrics Dashboard provides valuable insight into researchers at your institution and the content they create. Summary information is available at-a-glance, and in-depth, real-time data provided for fuller analysis.
If you are new to the OSFI Metrics Dashboard, this guide provides information to help you interpret all of the information provided:

There is also a series of 4 videos to walk you through each part of the dashboard:
- Video 1: Overview (transcript)
- Video 2: Summary Tab (transcript)
- Video 3: Users Tab (transcript)
- Video 4: Projects, Registrations, and Preprints Tabs (transcript)
- Video 5: Messaging and Collaboration (transcript)
A video is also available of a full demo done on February 6, 2025 for the membership (transcript). Note: this video does not cover messaging and collaboration features that were released in March 2025.
The metrics dashboard for each institution can be found by adding "/dashboard" to the end of the institution's home page URL (e.g. osf.io/institutions/cos becomes osf.io/institutions/cos/dashboard ) . Administrators will be able to see the dashboard for their institution if they are logged into OSF. No other login is necessary.
Not finding the data you need from the metrics dashboard? If you are comfortable using APIs you can do much more precise searching using our SHARE API.
If you are an administrator who should have access and you do not, please email institutions@cos.io to resolve the issue.
