Integrating Figshare
Create a strong open research ecosystem with powerful integrations.
Create a comprehensive research information management workflow
A Figshare repository that is integrated with both your internal research management infrastructure and external platforms enables you to build a comprehensive picture of your institutional research output and support open research through greater connectivity and interoperability.
Figshare integrates with major CRIS/RIMS Systems, including Symplectic Elements and Elsevier Pure.
Integrating institutional repositories with a CRIS/RIM works to create a complete research management solution.
Figshare and Symplectic are both Digital Science solutions. This means our product and implementation teams are able to collaborate seamlessly and ensure a joined-up experience for our clients, utilizing the same technologies and processes.
An open research repository with an open API
Figshare has an openly documented API that many users and organizations use to create efficiencies in their workflows and to increase connectivity.
The API can be used to automate the data publishing process, work with metadata or files in bulk, and surface item metadata in discovery layers.
The API is also used by many organizations to export usage statistics and metadata for reporting to business intelligence tools. The openly documented Figshare API enables integration with almost any research information reporting workflow or system.
" The deeply integrated environment we now have will greatly enhance our ability to manage the range of repository activities and strengthen our position in preparing for any future research assessment exercises."
How Figshare integrates with and augments research information management systems
In this webinar, we demonstrate why a Figshare repository multiplies the effectiveness of a CRIS/RIMS and provide examples of integrations.
We also cover how the openly documented Figshare API enables integration with almost any research information reporting workflow or system.
Support more open and transparent research management
Figshare has built-in integrations, providing crucial usage metrics and making deposits as easy as possible.
- Altmetric attention data
- Dimensions funding and citations data
- ReadCube
- GitLab, GitHub and BitBucket
Figshare metadata also enables clear linkages between research outputs and funding bodies and grants to be surfaced, as well as highlighting other related materials across the research ecosystem.
