randform hasn’t yet reported on a rather new online tool in scientific publishing which is called figshare. The german reader may have already read about it in an article by Aleks Scholz at the blog Riesenmaschine<\/a>, the scientific minded reader may have used it already.

Figshare is an upload facility for (pre-)preprints and seems amongst others to basically fulfill all functions* which I had proposed in (around 2009?) at the blog n-category cafe<\/a>, in emails to arxiv.org<\/a> and also at Math 2.0<\/a> and which has been described again in more detail in this randform post<\/a> about problems with the dissertation of Germany’s former minister of defense. The figshare faqs<\/a> describes <\/p>\n

\nfigshare allows researchers to publish all of their data in a citable, searchable and sharable manner.<\/p>\n

All figures, media, poster, papers and multiple file uploads (filesets) are published under a CC-BY license.<\/p>\n

All datasets are published under CC0.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(The CC-BY licence is a socalled Creative Commons licence<\/a>, which by the way just celebrates it’s tenth birthday<\/a> with a lot of parties, even here in Berlin .<\/a>)<\/p>\n

and<\/p>\n

The security and persistence of your files on figshare makes it easy to prevent plagiarism of your research data, as all uploads are time-stamped.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

:)<\/p>\n

Figshare, which was started in Sept 2011 by London based Mark Hahnel<\/a> is supported by Digital Science, a Macmillan Publishers Company <\/a> which is owned by Stuttgart based Georg von Holtzbrinck Publishing Group.<\/a><\/p>\n

I haven’t yet used Figshare and I haven’t yet found a definite answer to the question why the Georg von Holtzbrinck Publishing Group (which seems neither a non-profit organisation nor did it seem to appear as a distinguished CSR<\/a> company -as far as I can tell ? ) would be interested in setting up such an archive.<\/p>\n

*(a kind of authenticated “role based login” for the private section<\/a> seems still to be missing (that is for example that professors could have the possibility to log in to the private section of their students))<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
