Zenodo an attractive (and low-cost) option to make Indian research open access
by Subbiah Arunachalam 23 Jun '24

23 Jun '24

Friends, I began my 2011 *Status report on OA in India*, commissioned by the Centre for Internet & Society, Bengaluru, with the statement, "Nothing that has happened in the recent past can have as great an influence as open access on science and scholarship in the developing world, and yet many developing countries including India are not adopting open access with enthusiasm. Developing countries remain developing largely because they often let go of such opportunities." The situation has barely changed. We are still letting go of opportunities. LIS managers in academic and research performing institutions can bring about a dramatic transformation. They could help their research performing clients - professors, research students, scientists, etc. - in creating a Zenodo account for each one of them. Zenodo (*https://zenodo.org/ <https://zenodo.org/>*) is a free, open-access digital platform that allows researchers to share and preserve their research outputs, including data sets, publications, presentations, posters, multimedia, software, and educational resources. Zenodo is built on open source software and was developed by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the organization where the World Wide Web was also developed by Tim Berners Lee, but is open to researchers from everywhere. Zenodo makes scientific outputs of all kinds citable, shareable and discoverable for the long term. The term 'low-cost' in the subject line is the cost to hire interns/trainees (if needed) to create and populate the Zenodo accounts. With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658
