Zenodo is a general-purpose open repository developed under the European OpenAIRE program and operated by CERN.[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 persistent digital object identifier (DOI) is minted, which makes the stored items easily citeable.[4]

Characteristics

Zenodo was launched on 8 May 2013, as the successor of the OpenAIRE Orphan Records Repository[5] to let researchers in any subject area comply with any open science deposit requirement absent an institutional 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 is GitHub repositories.[10] Zenodo also provides researchers with further features, such as the option to publish files with an embargo[11], meaning that only metadata will be shown until the end of the embargo period.

Zenodo is supported by CERN "as a marginal activity", also receiving financial contributions via the CERN & Society Foundation, and hosted on the high-performance computing infrastructure that is primarily operated for the needs of high-energy physics.[12]

Zenodo is run with Invenio (a free software framework for large-scale digital repositories), wrapped by a small extra layer of code that is also called Zenodo.[13]

Zenodo is named after the Greek librarian Zenodotus.[14]

History

In 2019, Zenodo announced a partnership with the fellow data repository Dryad to co-develop new solutions focused on supporting researcher and publisher workflows as well as best practices in software and data curation.[15]

As of 2021, Zenodo's publicly available statistics[16] for open items reported a total of over 45 million "unique views" and over 55 million "unique downloads".[17]

Also in 2021, Zenodo reported it had crossed 1 petabyte in hosted data and 15 million yearly visits.[18]

In 2026, Zenodo confirmed that records from users submitting files without an academic affiliation may be de-ranked and not indexed by external search engines[19]. The same applies to users who have not been manually verified by Zenodo.[19]
