ORDA: a custom figshare frontend for the University of Sheffield

figshare's open API allows users to develop features and systems on top of our out-of-the-box research data management solution. Jez Cope (University Library) and Marcelo Paulino (Corporate Information and Computing Services) of the University of Sheffield have built a fully-customised, branded portal on top of their existing figshare portal which highlights recently-uploaded items and links to internal documentation for support.

In this webinar, Jez and Marcelo will explore the rationale for building this portal, how they did it, and where it’s going next, and share tips on how to do something similar at your own institution or organisation.
