figshare Reviews & Product Details

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). 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 (research universities, colleges, non-profits, biotech/pharma, government agencies, etc.) with industry standards and best practice at our core.
