How to network your poster with QR code and Figshare

This is a really neat piece outlining how researchers can make their conference posters an integrated part of their online research presence by putting a QR code on them that people can snap with their smartphones for a link to the online version e.g. at Figshare.com.

For those of you who haven't come across it before Figshare is a platform to which you can share anything research related (data, figures, manuscripts, posters, presentations etc) and receive a doi for it. I have recently used it for keeping the copyright in a series of figures I made for a book chapter for a closed access book published by Elsevier. You can read about it on my blog.
