Zenodo: a general purpose open-access repository

This lecture covers Zenodo, a general-purpose open-access repository developed under the European OpenAIRE program and operated by CERN. It allows researchers to deposit data sets, research software, reports, and any other research-related digital artifacts, providing each submission with a persistent digital object identifier (DOI) for easy citation. The lecture discusses the importance of publishing data on a repository, including personal commitment to Open Science, funders' requirements, institutional policies, journal policies, and disciplinary good practices. It also highlights the features of Zenodo, such as being multidisciplinary, multiformat, offering a choice of licenses, free of charge, personal collections, altmetrics, login with ORCID and Github, DOI assignment, and versioning.
