We now have an institutional figshare at https://figshare.canterbury.ac.nz

All staff are welcome to log in, and use it to upload datasets they want to make publicly available. This is a soft launch, and if you are interested, please get in touch and I’d like to talk to you through the process to see how we can improve documentation before we do a more public launch early next year.

I’m currently planning some workshops for library staff to introduce them to figshare and publishing data in general, watch this space…

We can migrate existing figshare accounts to the institutional account. It it intended to meet the needs of researchers who are mandated to share data for publishing, but it is more flexible than that, with options for selectively sharing data, projects shared inter/intra institutionally, and preserving data long term.

Please pass this to anyone you feel may be interested. There is some documentation at https://canterbury.libguides.com/figshare
