Description
The Unisa Research Data Repository, powered by Figshare, is an open repository for sharing research data generated by the University of South Africa's researchers (staff and students) for reuse. Datasets are uploaded to the repository after the completion of research projects for other researchers to use for new research projects. This practice supports open science, whereby research findings are validated, thus increasing the visibility of research output and enhancing citation.
