Figshare for sharing academic papers with their datasets

Figshare seems to be gaining important in scholarly communication - here is a blogpost from a social scientist on how she uses it.


figshare is a repository where users can make all of their research outputs available in a citable, shareable and discoverable manner.

figshare allows users to upload any file format to be made visualisable in the browser so that figures, datasets, media, papers, posters, presentations and filesets can be disseminated in a way that the current scholarly publishing model does not allow.
