Many publishers and funding sources now require archiving of research
data. However, many repositories are difficult to use, charge ongoing
fees, or both. Figshare provides a free, simple to use repository for
research outputs. Their service is already integrated with the PLOS
family of open access journals. Additionally, they have a
repository-as-a-service offering that institutions may consider. Data
uploaded to figshare can be connected to a publication by DOI and to an
author by ORCID. Beyond archiving for data in publications, figshare can
also archive unpublished data. This helps address the "file drawer"
problem where negative results are never publicized. It also provides an
outlet for findings smaller than a "least publishable unit". Figshare
accepts files in any format as long as they are less than 5 GB in size.
For many formats, figshare provides in browser previews. The total size
of private files on the service is limited to 20 GB. Unlimited storage
is provided for public files. [CRH]
