Disproportionate burden

We believe that reviewing and making sure each item of content is fully accessible would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations.

We are working towards full accessibility on privately-accessible pages and a major revision of this area is the key development focus for 2021. For further details, please email support@figshare.com.
