Exercise 3
You have written an article on your research findings and would now like to publish it in a generic archive, such as Zenodo. What do you need to consider to ensure that the article remains available for as long as possible and can also be reused if necessary?
Proposed Solution
- Assign persistent identifiers (PIDs) like DOIDOI stands for Digital Object Identifier, a unique and permanent (persistent) identifier for digital objects, such as articles and contributions in scientific publications, as well as lecture publications and educational materials. A DOI must first be registered in the central database of the International DOI Foundation see: https://www.doi.org/. Read More and ORCIDAn example of a standardized identifier for uniquely identifying individuals is the ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID). ORCID is an internationally recognized persistent identifier that allows researchers to be uniquely identified. The ID can be used by researchers for their scientific publications permanently and independently of any institution. It consists of 16 digits, grouped in four sets of four (e.g., 0000-0002-2792-2625). ORCID IDs are widely established in workflows at numerous publishers, universities, and research-related institutions and are often integrated into the peer-review process for journal articles An ORCID can be created free of charge at https://orcid.org/..

- Archive in open file formats
- Apply an open, ideally minimally restrictive Creative Commons (CC)Creative Commons licenses are pre-formulated license agreements created by the non-profit organization Creative Commons, allowing copyright holders to grant public usage rights to their creative works. Once a work under a CC license is used by third parties according to the terms of the license, a contract is established (TUM, 2023, p. 5). Read More license
- Enrich the article with meaningful metadata
- If applicable, reference additional contextual documents
