Funders
Zenodo is integrated into reporting lines for certain research funds via
OpenAIRE. You can just upload your research to Zenodo, and they will
share the metadata with the funder directly, making reporting easier.

• Zenodo is funded by CERN and the European
Commission via the OpenAIRE projects
• Zenodo claims no ownership: no change of ownership
is implied and no property rights are transferred to CERN.
• Retention period: Items will be retained for the lifetime
of the repository (currently the lifetime of the host
laboratory CERN)
• Visibility in GoogleScholar & GoogleDatasetsearch
• GitHub integration — Easily preserve your GitHub
repository in Zenodo and making code citable.
Policies

• Research output is stored safely in cloud infrastructure of CERN's
Large Hadron Collider
• Data files are kept in multiple replicas in a distributed file system, and is
backed up nightly
• Uses CERN’s open source repository software Invenio.
• Zenodo code is itself open source. The work-in-progress, open issues,
and roadmap are shared openly in GitHub.
