About ZENODO

ZENODO is a repository service that enables researchers, scientists, projects and institutions to share and showcase multidisciplinary research results (data and publications) that are not part of existing institutional or subject-based repositories.

ZENODO enables researchers, scientists, projects and institutions to:

• easily share the long tail of small research results in a wide variety of formats including text, spreadsheets, audio, video, and images across all fields of science;

• display and curate their research results and get credited by making the research results citable and integrate them into existing reporting lines to funding agencies;

• easily access and reuse shared research results.

ZENODO assigns all publicly available uploads a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to make upload easily and uniquely citeable.
