Using projects and collections in Figshare

In the fast-evolving landscape of research data sharing and publishing, it can be challenging for researchers to manage and showcase a varied set of research outputs.

Whether items from multiple lab members need to be aggregated and published together, or access to files may need to be given to external collaborators before publishing; many items, of many different types, may need to be grouped together.

Andrew Mckenna-Foster shows how to manage and group sets of items in Figshare. Andrew reviews the differences between Collections, Individual Projects, and Group Projects, and provide examples of how these can be used to maximize FAIR sharing of research outputs.
