Free service that gathers public expert evaluations and reviews of preprints in one place, so you can see what other researchers said about a study before it was formally published.
Why I recommend it: Use it as a sanity check on a preprint someone is quoting at you. No evaluation on Sciety means nobody independent has publicly assessed it yet — which is not the same as the study being wrong.
A free, open platform from the non-profit Center for Open Science for managing research projects, sharing data and materials, registering studies in advance and hosting preprints. You can browse public projects without signing up.
Why I recommend it: The most useful part for a non-researcher: when a study makes headlines, its OSF page often holds the data and the pre-registered plan, so you can see whether the researchers found what they said they would look for.
