Geological Society of London and figshare - Case Study

The Geological Society of London (GSL) is a not-for-profit organization, and a registered charity. Its mission is to improve knowledge and understanding of the Earth, to promote Earth science education and awareness, and to promote professional excellence and ethical standards in the work of Earth scientists, for the public good. It is the oldest geological society in the world founded in 1807.  In 2015 figshare partnered with GSL to host and visualise their supplemental data. figshare recently caught up with Dr Maxine Smith, Online Development Editor to get a better understanding of what GSL were hoping to achieve from our partnership.
