Introducing UniMelb Figshare!
Introducing melbourne.figshare.com
Figshare is a safe, secure and easy to use cloud-based repository where you can securely store your valuable research data, whilst remaining in full control of it. You can store it for your private research use, or you can share with others. Upload any file format - figures, datasets, posters and more – in a simple way. A unique citable identifier in the form of a DOI can be assigned to your data or collections, making your research available in a way that traditional publications cannot.
We are looking for early adopters interested in participating in user testing of melbourne.figshare.com as it develops this year. I began investigating uses at #mozsprint and now welcome more feedback, ideas and testers.

There’s also a comparison table of data access tools supported by the university. How do you want to use figshare to support your research? Please email us at research-data@unimelb.edu.au to become part of the figshare pilot program, or simply start experimenting yourself!
