What is Figshare?
Figshare is an online digital repository where researchers can preserve and share their research outputs, including figures, datasets, images, videos, and more. It is a platform designed to increase the visibility and accessibility of research findings across various disciplines, including
catalysis.
How does Figshare benefit catalysis research?
Catalysis research often generates a large amount of data, from experimental results to computational models. Figshare offers a centralized platform to store and share these
research outputs, making it easier for other researchers to access, replicate, and build upon existing work. This facilitates collaboration and accelerates scientific discovery in the field of catalysis.
Experimental data Analytical methods
Computational models
Reaction mechanisms
Supplementary materials
These data types can be uploaded in various formats such as spreadsheets, images, videos, and even software code.
Increased visibility: Research outputs are more likely to be seen and cited when they are easily accessible.
DOI assignment: Each uploaded item receives a
Digital Object Identifier (DOI), ensuring it can be reliably cited.
Compliance: Many funding agencies and journals now require data sharing for transparency and reproducibility.
Easy access: Figshare allows for easy access to data, which can be critical for
peer review and further research.
Long-term storage: Figshare provides a stable environment for long-term data preservation.
