Bath Spa University logo

Bath Spa University

Bath Spa University uses Figshare to showcase portfolios of Art & Design research, particularly for REF outputs.

“These portfolios were developed with the intention that they would be the preferred REF output template for multi-component outputs in creative practice research areas, particularly those that benefit from Figshare’s vibrant previewing capabilities for audio-visual file types. Artist Boss is a large project, including several exhibitions, learning materials, videos, and a website, as well as the final book publication with Wunderkammer Press.”
Miranda Barnes, Research Publications Librarian

Monash University

The Music Archive of Monash University (MAMU) uses their Figshare repository to showcase archived content including musical instruments, scores, field recordings, and diverse other materials. Previously stored behind closed doors, this content is now open for people all over the world to experience. 

“With printed materials, it’s very difficult for musicians and musicologists to reference the music they’re talking about. So we like the idea of making any digitized audio and audio/visual examples described and discussed in scholarly publications accessible to readers. We can do that by including the automatic DOI links generated by Figshare in those publications. People can easily listen to or observe the musical examples on Figshare while they read the associated books, chapters, or journal articles.”
