Upcoming webinar: https://lnkd.in/eR7wkTXf 'Each to their own: handling complex sharing needs in Figshare' 📈 💡 Open research principles and best practices often call for all research to be as open as possible or as closed as necessary. Sometimes adhering to that guidance can bring complexity, with different sharing needs for different types of research output. This webinar will provide an overview of how using Figshare, institutions can: ✔ work with large files ✔ create discoverable records with restricted files ✔ grant access to those who need it ✔ manage the complex and individual needs of researchers looking to share their research.
