Figshare is a London-based company operating in the book and periodical publishing industry that provides institutional repository infrastructure to support open research. Its platform enables researchers and institutions to share data, negative results, and unpublished figures, aiming to reduce duplication of work and encourage collaboration and feedback on preprint materials. The service targets researchers, universities, and other research-intensive organizations by offering a way to store, showcase, and manage research outputs that might not fit traditional publishing models. The company positions itself within open science and scholarly communication, highlighting its role in facilitating broader access to research materials and supporting the shift toward openness. Based in London, Figshare has grown through collaborations and partnerships with other entities in the open data ecosystem, including notable activity with institutional clients and engagements across multiple regions. A recent development includes partnerships announced in early 2026 involving major publishing and data science groups, reflecting ongoing expansion within the open research landscape.
