Zenodo

aid: zenodo
name: Zenodo
description: 'Zenodo is a free, open research data repository operated by CERN and co-developed under the European OpenAIRE
  program. It enables researchers to deposit, share, and preserve any research output — including datasets, software, papers,
  preprints, presentations, and multimedia — regardless of format, size, or discipline. Every upload receives a Digital Object
  Identifier (DOI) for persistent citation and discoverability. Zenodo provides a REST API for programmatic deposit management,
  record search and retrieval, and file management, as well as an OAI-PMH endpoint for metadata harvesting. The platform is
  built on InvenioRDM and stores all data at the CERN Data Centre with replicas and nightly tape backups.
