ZivaHub, running on the Figshare for Institutions platform, is ISO-certified as 1 2 a trusted digital repository. As such, it provides a GDPR-compliant environment, meeting the e-privacy and data security regulations of the European Union. Once you are logged in to ZivaHub, you can create a project and invite collaborators to it, including researchers outside of UCT. You can also be invited to other researcher’s projects to either view or contribute to their data. In short, the Projects tab is your pathway to collaboration on ZivaHub. Here, we will look in some detail at the two project types:
As the type cannot be changed after creating a project , a number of considerations should be made by the project creator when choosing the project type4:
This table presents a simple comparison between Individual and Group project types:
|
Individual |
Group ( recommended ) |
|
|
Storage |
Everyone uses their own quota and account storage. For UCT users: 20GB, for non-UCT users with a standard figshare.com account: 5GB. |
Submitter’s quota will not be used, storage allocation comes directly from the project.5 |
|
Ownership of data |
The individual who uploaded the data owns the data at all times. People take their data with them if they leave the project. |
All work is stored on institutional storage and remains within the project space if people leave. After the departure of any team members, the project creator becomes the owner of the data item. |

Review |
Items published by users from outside the organisation don’t have to go through review (if review is turned on for the group). |
