The data can come in the form of individual figures, datasets, or video files, and users are encouraged to share their negative data and unpublished results too. All data is persistently stored online under the most liberal Creative Commons licence, waiving copyright where possible. This allows scientists to access and share the information from anywhere in the world with minimal friction. figshare offers unlimited storage space for data that is made publicly available on the site, and as of today is also offering 1GB of free storage space for users looking for a secure, private area to store their research. Users of the new site will maintain full control over the management of their research whilst benefiting from global access, version control, and secure backups in the cloud. http://figshare.com ----- Pensoft Publishing with the CLOCKSS Archive “The agreement with CLOCKSS brought to us a long-seeked solution for fully automated harvesting, ingesting and preservation of the electronic content of our open access journals. Besides, the adjustment of our publishing system to CLOCKSS archive would make it attractive for other journals’ publishers to use” said Dr Lyubomir Penev, managing director of Pensoft.
