Abstract: Presentation about Zenodo for Data Umbrella by Esther Plomp, recorded on 14 February 2025. The video of the presentation is available in these sections: Video Part 1 [110a]: the full presentation, Intro to Zenodo: Advancing Open Science (https://youtu.be/eChOfh8t04k) (~75 minutes) Video Part 2 [110b]: step-by-step tutorial: Upload research files (documents, datasets, code, etc) to Zenodo (https://youtu.be/-miwX7EsaQI) (~30 minutes) Video Part 3 [110c]: What are FAIR Principles? (https://youtu.be/ed_lrNGF_70) (~2 minutes) Transcript: https://blog.dataumbrella.org/esther-zenodo About Zenodo Zenodo (https://zenodo.org) is a general data repository where any research output (data, presentations, research articles, software, and much more!) can be shared and preserved for the long term, increasing their visibility and impact. Zenodo is derived from Zenodotus, the first librarian of the Ancient Library of Alexandria and father of the first recorded use of metadata. It was launched in 2013 by CERN, which is The European Organization for Nuclear Research, and it is an intergovernmental organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. It was built by researchers to ensure that anyone can join Open Science. The repository welcomes research from all over the world and all disciplines. Zenodo does not impose any requirements on format, size, access restrictions or licence. "Quite literally they wish there to be no reason for researchers not to share!" The benefits of Zenodo include:- Being accessible: It is free (up to 50 GB per upload)- Helping researchers receive credit by making the research results citable - Providing a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) which is a globally unique persistent identifier for your record and is an important for discovery system to attribute citations correctly- Preserving knowledge- Supporting Open Science and reproducibility principles
