Figshare is a provider of repository software. We support organizations and researchers in meeting the growing demands for research to become open, freer, FAIRer and more connected. Figshare provides the flexibility and control for you to create research management workflows that work for you.
Figshare was founded by Dr Mark Hahnel, originally created as a personal custom solution for the organization and publication of diverse research products generated in support of his PhD in stem cell biology. Since then, Figshare has grown quickly and now serves scholarly publishers, academic institutions, government agencies, non-profits, research funders and pharmaceutical organizations. We partner with organizations to provide repository infrastructure, but Figshare.com, for individual researchers, remains free to access.
Since our inception, we have been committed to open research and furthering its pursuit. We adhere to our core beliefs through our partnerships with our clients and continued support of global research communities. There are now over 8 million research outputs that have been made openly available using Figshare. Individual researchers can still use figshare.com freely and a growing number of organizations are choosing us as their repository platform.
