Figshare is an open data repository that allows researchers to publish all of their research data online for public access within minutes. This speeds up the publishing process compared to traditional journals, which can take years and only share a small portion of the data. Figshare aims to improve collaboration and reproducibility of research by making all data citable and discoverable. It has over 1.5 million public research articles and is used by many universities worldwide to help students and researchers more easily access and share data.
5. write the paper for your research data
pay money to submit the paper to a journal
go through 6 months - 2 years of peer
reviews and numerous rewrites
the published article will usually contain
less than 10% of the research data
8. Can you see the
problem here?
it takes close to one year to publish
you share less than 10% of the data
in the future theres a ~90% chance
it will prove to be wrong
9. You cant publish
negative data
I have not failed.
I've just found 10,000 ways
that won't work.
