Preparing your Creative and Practice-Based Research Outputs
These research outputs (ROs) include a variety of creative outputs under 4 broad output types:
- Curated Exhibition/ Event or Festival
- Live Performance of Creative Work
- Original Creative Work
- Recorded or Rendered Work
Add your creative and practice-based ROs to appear on your Melbourne Figshare and Find an Expert profiles via the two-step process:
Step 1: Complete the ServiceNow form
- Research Outputs team reviews metadata and creates a Draft Record in Melbourne Figshare.
- An email titled “Access Melbourne Figshare to complete the submission of your research output" will be sent to your inbox. The email contains a link to the Draft record for you to complete step 2.
IMPORTANT: Do not attach files to this form. You will be asked to upload files in Step 2.
Step 2: Upload your Evidence of Output files to the Melbourne Figshare draft record
- Collect all third-party permissions as required before uploading files.
- You have the option to upload files and/or apply an embargo as required before clicking the ‘Submit for Review’ button.

Choosing Your Evidence of Outputs, Visibility and Configuring Melbourne Figshare
Research Evidence
| What You Have | Copyright Status | Recommended Figshare Approach |
|---|---|---|
Your own files (images, video, docs) | You own the copyright | Upload files; choose embargo if you do not want public access; use Research Statement and metadata. |
Third-party files (festival media, etc.) | You do not own the copyright | Upload files under embargo as internal evidence only; clearly note third-party source; optionally add URLs. |
No files | Not applicable | Create a metadata-only record; use Research Statement and metadata to describe the output; add URLs to public listings if available. |
Public Visibility
| What You Have | Copyright Status | Recommended Figshare Approach |
|---|---|---|
Your own files (images, video, docs) | You own the copyright | Upload files and make them public; select an appropriate licence; use DOI for sharing and citation. |
Third-party files (festival media, etc.) | You do not own the copyright | Either obtain permission and then make files public, or do not upload files and instead add links/URLs to the original source. |
No files | Not applicable | Create a metadata-only record; use Research Statement and metadata; add URLs to external documentation (e.g. programme, catalogue). |
