University of Sussex

University of Sussex Research Data Repository (Figshare tenant)

Sussex's institutional research repository, a Figshare tenant at sussex.figshare.com (CNAME to figshare.com). The relationship is independently confirmed by DataCite, where the university is a member provider (OTZZ) operating one repository client, FIGSHARE.SUSSEX, bound to the domain sussex.figshare.com. The data and the DOIs are Sussex's; the API is Figshare's generic v2 contract. Ten copies of that contract were previously stored in this repository under Sussex's name — the same document eleven other institutions also shipped — and have been removed. The tenant host itself is behind an AWS WAF challenge (HTTP 202) and could not be probed on 2026-08-30; that is a blocked probe, not a dead host.

name: University of Sussex Research Data Repository (Figshare tenant)
x-operator: tenant
description: Sussex's institutional research repository, a Figshare tenant at sussex.figshare.com (CNAME
  to figshare.com). The relationship is independently confirmed by DataCite, where the university is a
  member provider (OTZZ) operating one repository client, FIGSHARE.SUSSEX, bound to the domain sussex.figshare.com.
  The data and the DOIs are Sussex's; the API is Figshare's generic v2 contract. Ten copies of that contract
  were previously stored in this repository under Sussex's name — the same document eleven other institutions
  also shipped — and have been removed. The tenant host itself is behind an AWS WAF challenge (HTTP 202)
  and could not be probed on 2026-08-30; that is a blocked probe, not a dead host.

x-vendor-note: The generic Figshare v2 API base is recorded as x-vendor-api-base, NOT as this entry's
  baseURL. It is a host eleven other institutions in this catalog also point at; it belongs to Figshare's
  own profile. What Sussex operates is the tenant at sussex.figshare.com.
