Summary:

"figshare was founded on the principle that researchers should get credit for *all* of their research, in a system where “impact” is often solely based on published journal articles. The platform enables researchers to make their figures, datasets, images and videos publicly available, providing the researcher with a citable, searchable and discoverable endpoint – all for free. This is important not only for the supplementary data accompanying one’s experiment, but even negative results...."
