Making research more accessible with Figshare - SpringerOpen blog
lterrat's bookmarks 2016-12-24
Summary:
"e want to enable all of our authors and editors to publish the best research and promote wider access to research data, and other materials that support publications. To help achieve this we have introduced enhanced display and discovery of supplementary materials (additional files) in BioMed Central and SpringerOpen journals, in partnership with Figshare.
We are now depositing additional files from more than 300 BioMed Central and SpringerOpen journals in Figshare. This new service to authors and readers will:
Improve the online display of articles
Improve readership of and engagement with published articles
Increase the discoverability of additional files (and articles)
Provide richer, more specific metrics about the readership and reuse of additional files
Assign each additional file a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI)
Provide each journal with its own portal within Springer Nature’s Figshare repository, giving each journal its own data repository (example from Genome Biology here)"
