The Sustainable Digital Scholarship (SDS) service is designed to address challenges to the sustainability of digital projects. The SDSÂ platform, provided by Figshare, is an online, open access repository that allows researchers to store, work with, preserve, and share research data. It can be used for collecting and editing live data, and as a way of keeping research data safe for the long term and making it available to a wider public.
The service launched in the Humanities Division, and subsequently moved to the Bodleian Libraries. Free account are available for simple projects. For more complex projects, a fee may be payable: quotations for support and hosting can be provided for inclusion in grant applications. However, the platform is designed with sustainability in mind, so data deposited into the platform will be sustained and made accessible after the end of the research project that generated it, without further costs.
