Figshare streamlines the sharing of research data, theses, publications, and other scholarly content. LabArchives simplifies compliance with public data sharing requirements through direct integration with Figshare. This connection allows users to publish and preserve data from their electronic lab notebooks to Figshare with just a few clicks—enhancing workflow efficiency while increasing the visibility and impact of research.
If your organization supports public sharing of LabArchives data and has enabled this feature, users with the role of Notebook Owner, Account Administrator, or Notebook Administrator can publish notebook data to Figshare. Any level of the notebook including the entire notebook, specific folders, pages, or entries can be exported to FigShare.
