Description

This poster describes the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) National Evaluation Center's (NEC) efforts (a) to build the NEC Zenodo Community to serve as an openly accessible Evaluation Knowledge Commons and (b) to build capacity across the NNLM national network to develop companion NNLM Zenodo Communities for many of the national network's Regional Medical Libraries and National Offices/Centers. These NNLM Zenodo Communities enable transparency, access, discoverability and accountability; promote consistent, standard practices; and support Open Science requirements with minimal burden. 

The poster covers background on the platform and interest holders, motivations for the NEC Zenodo Community, a visualization of the NEC Community's Dashboard, efforts to build capacity across the NNLM national network, and next steps. 

The NEC's Zenodo Community is available at: https://zenodo.org/communities/nnlm-nec/. Please direct any questions to NEC@northwestern.edu
