Making Data Available Online: Figshare

This document provides advice and information based on the author's experiences as a research assistant in helping sort and publish data to the University of Auckland's institutional Figshare.

The author worked on a summer scholarship working as a research assistant helping Professor Gavin Brown prepare his data for publishing via our institutional Figshare. We published two projects, Teachers’ Conceptions of Assessment (TCoA-doi:10.17608/k6.auckland.c.3690549.v1; doi:10.17608/k6.auckland.c.3690541.v1) and Students’ Conceptions of Assessment (SCoA-doi:10.17608/k6.auckland.c.3694258.v1). The TCoA project contained data that had been collected from 2002 to 2007, and the SCoA project contained data that was collected from 2003 to 2009.
