Zenodo Clinic

In the Zenodo Clinic we explored the Zenodo repository and practiced archiving and preserving data using the Palmer Penguins dataset (Horst et al., 2020) and the Zenodo Sandbox practice space. Anyone can follow this clinic by creating a Zenodo Sandbox account, open the slides, follow the recording and use the data and metadata provided below.

This lesson was developed by Rachael Blake and Kate Wing of Intertidal Agency and taught by Rachael Blake. This Clinic followed the Metadata - Documenting Your Data lesson (slides; recording), also developed and taught by Intertidal Agency.

Make a Zenodo sandbox account

A Zenodo sandbox account is different from a standard account. It provides a space for experimentation; records and DOI’s created in the Sandbox are not real and will not resolve in “real” Zenodo. You can create an account at sandbox.zenodo.org, by either (1) making one with your email address or (2) using your GitHub credentials if you have a GitHub account. (You cannot log in to sandbox.zenodo.org with your ORCID credentials; you’ll get a confusing message that the credentials are invalid). Looking for a confirmation email? Check your spam folder.
