Blog posting – “We’re pleased to announce that figshare is the first research data repository to join the DPN Federation. Research data made public on figshare will be deposited into DPN, a dark archive that preserves scholarship for future generations. figshare users can guarantee that long-term access to their scholarly resources will be protected in the event of any type of change in administrative or physical institutional environments. figshare will use the DuraSpace DuraCloud Vault deposit node to add their content into DPN to preserve its public corpus of multi-disciplinary data. The multi-scale DPN approach to stored content by leveraging a heterogeneous network that spans diverse geographic, environmental, and political climates will enable the secure, long-term preservation of figshare content, which will ultimately reside under control of the academy.”
