What is Figshare?
Sustainable Digital Scholarship (SDS) Figshare is an example of a service available within the University which you can embed by generating a code.
The SDS platform is highly suitable for publishing, sustaining and collaborating on research data, especially on projects that expect to be adding or editing data into the future. Unlike a data archive, files placed on the SDS platform remain “live”, able to be edited while still being easy to cite and share.
SDS Figshare enables you to embed research data from the platform on your Fresco site.
Anyone with an Oxford SSO can use the platform, and embedding and sharing content is covered by the reuse licence.
Further information is provided on the SDS site. Please note this was written for the Mosaic platform, but might be of general interest.
How to embed
- Go to https://figshare.embed.it.ox.ac.uk/ to generate an embed code
- Grid configuration: select number of rows and columns
- Optionally, select the Project or Collection or Group ID of the group you want to use. For example, a Faculty, Department or individual research project
Click “Generate embed-code" (Fig. 1)
