Researchers, have you heard about figshare as a place to publish your research data?
Publishing your data raises your profile, and allows publicly-funded research to be shared for the benefit of other researchers and the general public. Funders and publishers are also requiring that research data be published.
To make publishing your data as easy as possible, the University has chosen figshareÌýas our default data repository. You can publish research datasets, conference posters and presentations, software code, videos and more. The process is quick and easy, and you select a licence (CC-BY default) and DOI. You can also reserve a DOI for future use and embargo release for a set time.
