figshare Consortium


Helping make South African research more visible
figshare Consortium

TENET works alongside Digital Science to support eligible institutions in South Africa that wish to implement a Figshare Repository using Figshare for Institutions.

Figshare, a Digital Science solution, helps institutions share, showcase and manage their research outputs in a discoverable, citable, reportable and transparent way. They support institutions in meeting the growing demands for research to become open, freer, FAIRer and more connected. Figshare provides the flexibility and control to create research management workflows that work for institutions and take care of implementation, updates, security and maintenance - ensuring you and your researchers can always depend on your repository.

Why Figshare?

Figshare's repository software allows you to:

  • Store and manage files of any type
  • Comply with funder, publisher, government and internal open research policies
    and mandates
  • Provide a foundation for your open research ecosystem
  • Report on reuse and impact

How to participate

To discover whether your organisation provides figshare, contact your institutional library or research office.

Membership of the figshare Consortium is open to most South African universities, libraries & research councils. Authorised representatives of eligible organisations can contact our service desk for more information about joining.
