In general, uploads in the NFDI4Earth community should follow the NFDI4Earth principles and reflect the NFDI4Earth Ambition.

Concretely, the curation team (reachable at nfdi4earth-zenodo@tu-dresden.de) will check for the following in submissions. Note that you can always update metadata of a Zenodo record without creating a new version (= adding more content/data files) and that the community curators can also edit metadata in your record.

• Concrete relation to NFDI4Earth, e.g., a report or dataset from an NFDI4Earth pilot, an NFDI4Earth deliverable, a white paper from the project, or a presentation of project results, especially based on keywords. The keyword NFDI4Earth is always appropriate, please add it.
  • If you submit a record related to a pilot, please use the case-sensitive keyword
    NFDI4Earth Pilot
  • If you submit a record related to a project in the incubator lab, please use the case-sensitive keyword
    NFDI4Earth Incubator
  • If you submit a record related to the NFDI4Earth Academy, please use the case-sensitive keyword
    NFDI4Earth Academy
  • If you submit a record related to the NFDI4Earth interest groups, please use the case-sensitive keyword
    NFDI4Earth Interest Group
  • If you submit a record related to the NFDI4Earth education and training activities, please use the case-sensitive keyword
    NFDI4Earth EduTrain
  • If you submit a record related to one or more of the NFDI4Earth products (USN, LHB), please use a fitting (case-sensitive) keyword, too:
    NFDI4Earth Living Handbook
    NFDI4Earth User Support Network
    NFDI4Earth OneStop4All
    NFDI4Earth Knowledge Hub
    NFDI4Earth Label
    NFDI4Earth FAIRness and Openness Commitment
    ...
  • If you submit a record related to an NFDI4Earth Plenary meeting, please fill out the "Conference" section based on previous records and use fitting keywords:
    NFDI4Earth Plenary
    NFDI4Earth Plenary 2024
  • If none of the above fits, but also in general, please do add relations to the Task Area and Measure, both by number and by name:
    NFDI4Earth Task Area 1, NFDI4Earth 2Participate
    NFDI4Earth Task Area 2, NFDI4Earth 2Facilitate
    NFDI4Earth Task Area 3, NFDI4Earth 2Interoperate
    NFDI4Earth Task Area 4, NFDI4Earth 2Coordinate
    NFDI4Earth Measure 1.1 (M1.1) - Earth System Science Pilots
    NFDI4Earth Measure 2.5 (M2.5) - Advancing Tools
    ...
    
  • If your work is also related to other NFDI consortia or projects (SFBs, etc.), please add keywords accordingly.
• Completeness and correctness of metadata, e.g., author names, use of related identifiers to link to other resources such as GitLab projects, suitable upload type, meaningful description text, and a good set of keywords. Very importantly, all authors should have an ORCID.
  • The title should include a qualification and mention the context to create an informative default citation, e.g., append a "project name (NFDI4Earth Pilot Final Report)" to the final report of a pilot project, to distinguish between multiple types of reports.
• Appropriate acknowledgement of NFDI4Earth in case of (financial) support (see https://nfdi4earth.de/member-area/faq) in a separate "Additional Description" field of the type "Notes" , see this example.
• If you publish solely in the NFDI4Earth community, you may also use a custom value for the metadata field Publisher and enter the value "NFDI4Earth Community on Zenodo".
• A "custom" funding entry must be added:
  • Funder: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DE, 018mejw64
  • Number: 460036893
  • Title: NFDI4Earth - NFDI Consortium Earth System Sciences
  • URL: https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/460036893?language=en
