2. Introduction – Interdisciplinary Research
New research initiatives being developed in institutions, universities and organizations
Drexel no exception
Multidisciplinary Fields: Nanoscience, Advanced Materials, Genomics, Bioinformatics, Green Infrastructure, Plasma Medicine, Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering, Translational Research and many more
More research being done and more expected
Lots of research ouput
Data---data--data
Managing research data critical
Archive, Preserve, Access and Retrieve
Web 2.0 tools are effective ways to share, generate and distribute knowledge among researchers – shared communication
Stephen Abrams thinks that Web 2.0 is “about a much higher level of interactivity and deeper user experiences…”
Potential for more academic and research based collaborations

3. Research and Data Management
Research output at Drexel
Funding agencies requirements
Funded research from NSF, NIH and DoE, etc. to be made publicly available after 12 months
Managing digital objects for discovery and reuse
Understanding needs to build expertise in preservation, archiving, curating, metadata, instruction, and consultation.  
Discovering Digital objects created by researchers worldwide

4. iDEA – Drexel’s E-Repository

5. Research Data Repositories - Where to begin?
The Libraries' evolving Research Data Management support helps Drexel faculty, staff and students to address these challenges at different points in the research life cycle.
Number of repositories now available and are indexed in Re3Data.org – Registry of Research Data Repositories
Will explore figshare today
figshare is one of the portfolio companies of Digital Science.

6. Figshare Overview
Web-based interface designed for academic research data management and research data dissemination.
figshare is one of the portfolio companies of Digital Science.
Created as a solution to keep research outputs in one tidy place
Upload, share, cite and importantly discover various research outputs with the security
Long term preservation of data possible.
It enables the hosting of research data repositories.
Improved dissemination and discoverability of all scholarly research and content.
Strong believers in the power of open access to knowledge.

7. figshare Overview https://figshare.com/about
figshare allows users to upload any file format to be previewed in the browser
Research output, from posters and presentations to datasets and code, can be disseminated

8. Interdisciplinary focus

9. How figshare works? http://figshare.com Create account
Sharing Research Output
Click on ‘My data’, ‘Create new item’ and ‘add new items’. You can drag and drop files.

10. What Can I upload and share through figshare?
Anything academic. All your research output that you want to share.
The current 'types' are figures, datasets, media (including video), code, papers (including pre-prints), a thesis, posters, presentations and filesets (groups of files).
 A list of the supported file types can be found here. 
When you publish on figshare your data is stamped with a DOI.

11. How to cite?
Cite 
All research made publicly available of figshare gets allocated a DataCite  DOI at point of publication. This means that your research can be cited using traditional citation methods, no matter what form the research outputs come in. 
You can also export the citation to RefWorks, BibTeX, Endnote, DataCite, NLM, DC and RefMan. These are available in the side pane (to the right) of every page.

12. DoI - research products searchable, discoverable, and citable
By creating a public portal and assigning digital object identifiers (DOIs),
figshare makes an organization’s research products searchable, discoverable, and citable, and their impact and attention is captured through statistical reporting and altmetrics.
There is a free version of Figshare at figshare.com.  The free version has some limitations. The two main ones are upload size limit (5Gb vs 5Tb with subscription) and private storage space (20Gb vs 100TB that can be assigned as needed). More details are here:

20. How to share, and cite data in figshare
Underneath your public data (next to the Download button) you'll see: Share, Cite and Embed.  
Share
You can share via Facebook, Twitter and more all from the public page of your data.
