Why Zenodo?

Created knowledge of interest beyond the NeIC scope

justifying a permanent identifier like Digital Object Identifier (DOI).

Zenodo can provide such DOIs.

NeIC outcomes are expected to be made openly available

On Zenodo: better accessibility & findability

Visible to a broader use base and potential future collaborators

Zenodo allows for keywords for improved targeting.

Acknowledge author contributions and increase visibility

Some of the knowledge created within NeIC context might even be of interest beyond the scope of the singular activity or project.

As within NeIC we adhere to our Openness_policy most of the generated outcomes within NeIC, including reports and software, are expected be made openly available to the public. This happens often through our wiki or on public code repositories.

Sometimes though, the created result might also be of interest outside of NeIC, justifying a permanent identifier like the Digital Object Identifier (DOI).

The Zenodo platform will make those publications better accessible and findable by a broader use base and potential future collaborators. You can use keywords to target this even further.

Additionally, the author's contribution to knowledge built-up within infrastructure is made visible beyond the home institution and NeIC and acknowledged.

How to upload to Zenodo

Step5: Keep improving your upload

Upload the actual file (now self referenced)

Step6: Publish

Note: Once published you will have to upload a new version of the publication item if you change it (That’s the point of DOIs).

Add more keywords or additional authors, update author information, fix typos in the abstract. (all without the need for new versions)

Step9: advertise your newest upload

Zenodo API usage

“Authors” field... plenty of clicking/typing/scope for error

How to do this more automatically/programmatically?

https://developers.zenodo.org/#quickstart-upload

Also here: possibility to test uploads without publishing in the sandbox first https://sandbox.zenodo.org/

NeIC staff webpages have the possibility to add persistent identifier (like ORCID) information and make it accessible over the website API

https://neic.no/api/1.0/people.json

Our pilot scripts combining these:
