Institutions produce publications, data and software
CRISIS I
Dysfunctional scholarly literature
Literature
• Limited access• No global search• No functional hyperlinks• No flexible data
visualization• No submission
standards• (Almost) no statistics• No text/data-mining• No effective way to sort,
filter and discover• No scientific impact
analysis• No networking feature• etc.
…it’s like the web in 1995!
CRISIS II
Scientific data in peril

FigShare API
The figshare API allows you to push data to figshare, or pull data out. This first version is a basic implementation that allows you to manage your figshare account or build applications on top of the figshare platform and public research.
Add new, or update an existing article
Run your script and...
Same type of experiments → same scriptDefault: → same categories
→ same tags→ same authors→ same links→ same description
→ One complete article, in one click.
Update the figure: Higher sample size directly published while analysed, your boss may see the results before you do! (or you may see the results of your student before they do)
Possibility to make it public and citable in one click or directly in the R code.
Citable!
