Research data
Bridges is a place to share your research data and other supporting material.
Research data is a broad term referring to the information researchers collect or create, and use to undertake and “evidence” their research. This can include statistics, photographs, survey results, instrument data, recordings, field notebooks, specimens etc.
Publications, preprints and conference papers
Open access copies of publications and conference papers should be added to myResearch (Pure), rather than Bridges. For further information or advice on this procedure, please contact your ROCS representative:
Research activities
myResearch (Pure) allows you to record your research activities (interviews, presentations, blog posts etc.) and have them appear in your Monash researcher profile.
However, while you can attach a file to this record, it will not be visible to anyone viewing your public profile. If you would like the file to be publicly accessible, or to assign it a DOI, you can first load it into Bridges and then link to it from myResearch (Step 5 in Adding engagements and activities to Pure).
Items that already have a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) assigned to them should be linked to from myResearch (Pure). Please do not create a record in Bridges as this will create a second, conflicting DOI.
Graduate Research students do not currently have access to myResearch (Pure) and therefore may wish to use Bridges to share their publications and research activities, in addition to their research data.
If you are unsure if an item should be loaded into Bridges or myResearch, please contact researchdata@monash.edu or the ROCS team.
