Figshare: Research data repository at the University
The Research Lifecycle Programme (RLP) is developing a research data management strategy in collaboration with researchers, to improve access export and preservation of data. One of the outcomes of this is to deliver an institutional research data repository for the whole University. This will help ensure that all our research communities can easily manage and publish research data, not only to support project outcomes but throughout the research lifecycle.
The RLP are now pleased to announce that The University of Manchester will be implementing Figshare to host research data in the new academic year. Accessible from anywhere, Figshare is a cloud-based platform for storing and sharing research data.
