Aries Systems Corporation, a technology workflow solutions provider to the scholarly publishing community, and Figshare, a highly configurable platform for sharing research data, have partnered to promote and facilitate the sharing of open data from academic papers.
Figshare, part of Digital Science, has integrated with Aries’ Editorial Manager® (EM) to allow Authors to submit their datasets to Figshare during manuscript submission in EM. Leveraging Aries’ repository API, the integration allows Authors to preview the dataset files as they will appear on Figshare when published, edit the metadata, and add additional files to their submission in EM. When the associated article is ready to be published, the datasets will be published in the publisher’s Figshare Portal and assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for citing and reuse.
This integration – available for all publishers using both Editorial Manager and Figshare – makes publishing open data faster and easier for publishers and Authors without the disruption of workflow.
