The Open Research Landscape: Using Figshare to Share Data and More
Spring 2022
More Details
Open Access publishing, data management and data sharing, and open science are transforming the scholarly communications landscape. These trends are being driven in part by the requirements of funders and publishers as well as by research communities who want to make research more efficient and by researchers who want credit for all of the outputs of their research. Ana Van Gulick, PhD, Government and Funder Lead and Head of Data Review at the generalist repository Figshare, will give an overview of this shifting landscape and best practices for open research. She will provide guidance for how to meet new requirements and maximize the impact of your work by sharing it in a trusted repository like Figshare. Freely available Figshare.com allows researchers to share any output of their work from datasets and code to preprints and publications, conference posters and presentations, course materials, and more in a way that is discoverable and reusable for others and that supports citation and tracking of the work to demonstrate its impact.

Follow us on Twitter to stay up-to-date on planned workshops, special events, and faculty book groups as well as highlighted articles that may be of interest to you.
If you're unable to attend a scheduled workshop, we typically record them and make them available via our YouTube channel.
Workshop registration and attendance information for inclusion in your tenure and promotion materials can be accessed directly via the university's workshop registration system.
If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.
If you have an idea for a potential future workshop, please feel free to send your suggestions to Dr. Lando Carter.
