Curtin University

Curtin Curate Research Repository (Figshare tenant)

Curtin's institutional research repository, formerly espace on Ex Libris, now running on Figshare at curate.curtin.edu.au. The data, the theses, the DOIs and the tenant are Curtin's; the platform and its API contract are Figshare's. No Figshare specification is saved under Curtin's name — that misattribution, one Figshare contract credited to twenty-five universities, is exactly what this profile exists to avoid. The repository could not be probed at all: every path including /oai, /esploro/oai/request and /api/v2/articles returns HTTP 202 with a zero-byte bot-challenge body. The migration itself appears undocumented, and the legacy OAI-PMH endpoint did not survive it.
