Adding larger datasets to Sussex Figshare
Thursday 30 May 10:00 until 11:00
Online
Speaker: Library Research Data team
Sussex Figshare is the research data repository for University of Sussex researchers and enables users to publish and share datasets across all disciplines; from images and survey results to statistics and software code.
This event will show attendees how to use tools to upload larger datasets to Sussex Figshare. These tools make it easier to upload datasets that are large in size (up to 2TB), or in scale (such as collections of many images with indivdual descriptions)
We will cover uploading files and folders using FTP clients, and using the Figshare Uploader developed by the Sussex Humanities Lab that enables the upload of existing metadata alongside files.
We’ll also cover what to consider before starting to upload data, such as how to structure content to help users navigate collections.
