What data should I submit?

We encourage you to submit the minimal, measurement-level dataset supporting the results and analysis in your research paper.

figshare is suitable for a wide range of data types and can handle most formats. However, for a number of data types submission to alternative, discipline-specific repositories is mandatory. Please consult our list of mandated data types before submitting to figshare.

Human data should be adequately de-identified and appropriate participant consent obtained before sharing. Do not share sensitive data in figshare. For more information on handling sensitive data, including non-human sensitive data, see our FAQs below.
