Zenodo LMU Community 

This Zenodo community can be used as a central electronic archiving and publication platform for scholarly output that cannot be archived or published on institutional systems by LMU Munich, such as:

  • Open Access LMU (http://epub.ub.uni-muenchen.de/)
    • For first and second publications of scientific output such as articles, books, conference contributions and proceedings and other text-based works 
  • Electronic Theses of LMU Munich (https://edoc.ub.uni-muenchen.de/)
    • For the publication of academic theses (doctoral and postdoctoral) produced at LMU in accordance with the regulations of your faculty 

For further information see: Open access & publishing - University Library LMU - LMU Munich 

 

Handling of research data 

When publishing research data, also consider subject-based research data repositories that can be found in the subject-based directory of re3data.org (Registry of Research Data Repositories). 

For creating data management plans, tools such as RDMO can be useful. For further information, see Research Data LMU

 

Citation standards and licenses 

Using standardized citation ensures proper recognition of authors as well as permanent identification through global, persistent identifiers instead of URLs. 

Zenodo supports the use of persistent identifiers: 

  • DOI: used for identifying digital research outputs 
  • ORCID: used for identifying authors/creators (Note: researchers create and update their own profiles.) 
  • ROR: used for identifying affiliations (e.g. https://ror.org/05591te55 for Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München) 

To ensure reusability and legal clarity, all materials should be released under an open license. Zenodo supports a variety of Creative Commons (CC) licenses. The use of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) or Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA 4.0) license allow sharing and adaptation of a work while ensuring that the original creators receive proper credit and, in the case of CC BY-SA 4.0, that derivative works remain openly licensed.
