Hi there.
I am John Bond from Riverwinds Consulting and this is Publishing Defined.
Today I am going to discuss Figshare.
Figshare is an online digital repository where researchers can preserve and share their research
items.
The item formats that can be shared are very varied and include figures, datasets, media
including videos, papers including pre-prints, a thesis, posters, presentations, and file
sets including groups of files or collections, and more.
Figshare allows academics to upload, share, cite, and discover all types of research outputs,
with the idea that the material will be preserved long term.
It is free to users to upload content and free to access, all in the spirit of open
data and open science.
Figshare has programs for individuals, publishers, and institutions.
Users create an account and upload their research output in a wide variety of formats.
All material receives a DOI or digital object identifier and all are distributed under a
Creative Commons license.
One of the positive sides to using Figshare is that is allows researchers to publish negative
data.
Many times, it is believed negative publications are withheld or don't see the light of day
because of bias, or the file drawer effect.
By posting these items and this data in their component form instead of an article, knowledge
can be shared quickly and effortlessly.
Figshare was launched in January 2011.
It is supported by the company Digital Science, operated by Macmillian Publisher.
Figshare is working with some of the largest publishers, including Springer Nature, Taylor
& Francis, Wiley, PLOS and many others.
Figshare has partnerships or complies with ORCID, NISO, COPE (or the Committee on Publication
Ethics), and several other trade groups.
As of this date, Figshare has reported the following benchmarks for its efforts: over
26 million page views, more than 7.5 million downloads, 800,000+ uploads, 2 million+ articles,
and 500,000 collections and 5,000 projects.
Figshare's motto is "You retain ownership, you license it, you get credit, and they just
make sure it persists."
Certainly, a worthy goal in the open access and open knowledge era.
Well that's it.
