Figshare is a web-based interface designed for academic research data management and research data dissemination. It accepts all file types (with in-browser viewing). Below is an example of how Figshare can help you and your data:
Figshare was originally created as a solution to keep research outputs in one tidy place whilst allowing it to be discovered by like minded individuals: the academic community. It quickly became apparent that others sought such a resource and Figshare opened its doors. Figshare enables academics to upload, share, cite and importantly discover all manner of research outputs with the security of knowing our hosting options and platform support long term preservation of data.
Along the way, we have developed offerings not just for the individual (figshare.com) but for publishers and institutions with industry standards and best practice at our core.
At Figshare, we have a vision to change the face of academic publishing with the improved dissemination and discoverability of all scholarly research and content. Figshare strives to make use of new technologies such as cloud hosting, RESTful APIs, and browser functionality to better aid researchers, publishers, and institutions in their attempts to better manage and disseminate academic research. The Figshare team are firm believers in the power of open access to knowledge.
