Individual Researchers

Individual researchers, both staff and students, can create an account on the Sustainable Digital Scholarship (SDS) platform, where they can store and share their research data.

Accounts are created on a self-service basis, using the University of Oxford Single Sign-On (SSO). Access the SDS platform and log in to create your account now.

Please read our terms of use before using the SDS platform.

The SDS service automatically provides individual researchers with a free 10GB storage allowance. If needed, you may request additional storage from within the SDS platform. The SDS service reserves the right to decline additional storage requests and, in the future, potentially to introduce a charge for excessive storage demands, though this would be communicated in advance and no charge would be requested without a discussion first.

The SDS platform is provided by Figshare, and further helpful technical support and guidance can be found in the Figshare User Guides.  

We have also created a series of self-help instructional videos, to provide an overview of how the SDS platform can be used and managed.    

If you require further support or information, please contact the SDS team. We will be more than happy to help.
