Zenodo is a general-purposeopen repository developed under the EuropeanOpenAIRE program and operated byCERN.[1][2][3] It allows researchers to deposit research papers, data sets, research software, reports, and any other research related digital artefacts. For each submission, a persistentdigital object identifier (DOI) is minted, which makes the stored items easily citeable.[4]
Zenodo was launched on 8 May 2013, as the successor of theOpenAIRE Orphan Records Repository[5] to let researchers in any subject area comply with anyopen science deposit requirement absent aninstitutional repository.It was relaunched as Zenodo in 2015 to provide a place for researchers to deposit datasets;[6] it allows the uploading of files up to 50 GB.[7][8]
It provides a DOI to datasets[9] and other submitted data that lacks one to make the work easier to cite and supports various data and license types. One supported source isGitHub repositories.[10]
Zenodo is supported byCERN "as a marginal activity" and hosted on the high-performance computing infrastructure that is primarily operated for the needs ofhigh-energy physics.[11]
Zenodo is run withInvenio (afree software framework for large-scale digital repositories), wrapped by a small extra layer of code that is also calledZenodo.[12]
Zenodo is named after the Greek librarianZenodotus.[13]
In 2019, Zenodo announced a partnership with the fellow data repositoryDryad to co-develop new solutions focused on supporting researcher and publisher workflows as well as best practices in software anddata curation.[14]
As of 2021, Zenodo's publicly available statistics[15] for open items reported a total of over 45 million "unique views" and over 55 million "unique downloads".[16]
Also in 2021, Zenodo reported it had crossed 1Petabyte in hosted data and 15 million yearly visits.[17]
