Useful background information


Howto information for GitHub Repo maintainers (source Zenodo FAQ)

My organizational repository does not show up on the GitHub list

"In order to see and archive your organizational repositories on Zenodo you will need to have "Admin" permissions on said repository, either as an Admin of the organization or an Admin of one of your organization's repositories. Additionally, please make sure that the OAuth application on GitHub is granting permissions not only to your personal repositories but also to your organizational ones - to verify that go to your GitHub OAuth settings in your profile, and click on the Zenodo application to see more details. Make sure that Zenodo is given access (green tick) to your organization under "Organization access".

After that, navigate to your Zenodo GitHub settings page and click the "Sync now" button at the top."

I made a GitHub release, but it does not show up on Zenodo.

"Make sure the repository was enabled before the release was made, otherwise feel free to contact ZENODO."

Is it possible to archive a GitHub repository, before it was enabled on Zenodo?

"Only the repositories which were enabled before a release was made will be archived automatically. If you want to archive some of your old releases, you can always download a release ZIP from GitHub and upload it to Zenodo using our web interface as a regular upload."

How to change the default metadata for my GitHub releases?

"You can include metadata in a .zenodo.json file at the root of your GitHub repository. This file's contents should be in line with the Zenodo deposit metadata schema and will be used to update the metadata from future GitHub releases. For more information on how to create a .zenodo.json file, you can have a look at our GitHub integration documenation."

Do you support other software metadata files, like CITATION.cff or codemeta.json?

"Part of our plans and ongoing work is to take into account or improve our integration of other software metadata schemas such as the Citation File Format (CFF) and CodeMeta. We are working closely with our users and scholarly software and citation communities to figure out exactly when, in what form, and how all these different metadata schemas and their files will be integrated into Zenodo."

How does a CITATION.cff file affect the metadata of my GitHub release?

"When we find a CITATION.cff file in your GitHub repository's root folder, we make a best-effort attempt at parsing Zenodo-compatible metadata from it. For backwards-compatibility, if you have a .zenodo.json file in the repository, only the .zenodo.json's metadata will be taken into account. Of course, any existing valid CITATION.cff file will still be used to display the citation box on the GitHub repository page, but will not affect in any way the metadata we extract for your published release Zenodo record."

Do you support versioning for already existing records?

"Yes. However, for uploads published before the 30th of May 2017, you have to first upgrade your record to support versioning. This is done by clicking the “Upgrade to versioned record” button on the record page.

IMPORTANT If you have previously uploaded multiple versions of an upload as individual records on Zenodo, then DO NOT click the button to upgrade your record with versioning support. Please contact us so we can link the records under one versioning scheme.

Clicking the “Upgrade to versioned record” button on any of the records you would like to link, will irreversibly register them as individually-versioned records.

If you used the GitHub integration to archive your software on Zenodo, then we have already migrated and linked your records to support versioning."

How to include a DOI-based reference to a LaTEX/Overleaf document.

BEWARE: As of now (2023-03-27) it remains to be confirmed that DOI-tags in citations work without the https://doi.org-header. This might (just) result in human readable information, but not machine-readable.

DOI acknowledgement by Publishers and Journals

References in indexed scientific literature to research software, including the OSGeo software projects, can be counted as citations and due scientific credit for the persons developing and maintaining the research software).

The emerging best practice for software references is reference by DOI. Such a DOI reference can either refer to the software project as a whole (concept DOI), or a particular release of the codebase (version DOI).

Keeping track of DOI-based software citations can both be done manually or by automated analysis of metadata about the publication provided centrally by CrossRef or DataCite.

The prerequisite for automated analysis and reporting (as in FAIR: machine-actionable and interoperable) is the provision of a full references list for the publication as a complete set of metadata to CrossRef.

If only a limited subset of the reference list is provided to CrossRef, metadata-based automated analysis and reporting will return no result, meaning no information about the citation.

In such a case, despite the best intentions by the publication authors by using DOI-based software citations in their publication, because of the lack of metadata, automated reporting will return no result and there will be no due credit by citation to the software project.

This also affects the software developer team, as there will be no credit / recognition of their roles as (research-)software authors, because there is no automated transitive credit to their individual ORCID accounts will be triggered.


Currently it is difficult at best for propective authors to assess prior to a publication whether software-references by DOI will be indexed by CrossRef, resulting in FAIR credit.

To mitigate this, incomplete lists are being compiled (below) of journals, for convenience of prospective authors, to assess wheter software-references will result in credit propagation to the software project and developer team.

  • A greenlist collects journals and publications with confirmed software citations derived from CrossRef metadata.
  • A whitelist compiles journals and publications with identical metadata practices to the greenlist, but where no DOI-based software citation has been confirmed yet.
  • A greylist collects journals, where OSGeo-DOI have been used in publications, yet currently are not being indexed by CrossRef.

For scientific authors, the difference between a publication in a green-, whitelist or greylist journal is wether DOI-based references to OSGeo software, -data or -video will be automagically attributed ("due scientific credit") to the respective OSGeo community / persons. For greylist journals, such attribution needs to be compiled manually.

Authentice an ORCID account with a GitHub

„We’re excited to announce that GitHub is partnering with ORCID. You can now authenticate your ORCID account with your GitHub account, and display your ORCID iD on your public GitHub profile. ORCID provides a persistent unique digital identifier (an ORCID iD) that researchers own and control, and that distinguishes them from every other researcher."
