University of Sussex

aid: university-of-sussex
name: University of Sussex
description: 'The University of Sussex is a research-intensive public university near Brighton, United Kingdom, ranked #247
  in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable footprint is limited: the university''s research
  outputs (publications, data, theses) are hosted on Figshare, which exposes a public REST API, while identity and access
  are managed through Okta single sign-on (OAuth2/OpenID Connect) for staff and students. The former Sussex Research Online
  EPrints repository and its OAI-PMH endpoint have been decommissioned and now redirect to the Figshare-backed publications
  service. A GitHub organization exists but currently publishes no public repositories.'
