What we work on now
We will launch the SWH integration on Zenodo during summer 2024.
Planned October 2024
The EU Open Research Repository will exit the pilot phase during autumn 2024. This will include improved browse capabilities and onboarding of EU-funded projects.
Planned September 2024
We will be working on performing regular updates of some of our backend vocabularies such as ROR (funders/affiliations), ORCID (names) and subject vocabularies (EuroSciVoc, Medical Subject Headings).
Planned July 2024
What we plan working on next
We will be working on a workflow for automatic detection and quality assurance of EU-funded records so that they can be included into the EU Open Research Repository.
Planned release in December 2024
We will be implementing several new spam mitigation measures to keep up with new changes in methods by spammers.
Planned November 2024
We will be improving overall FAIRness of Zenodo. This will also include support for Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) as well as some smaller improvements for marine science.
Planned December 2024
What we investigate
The EU Open Research Repository will be expanded with improved curation capabilities. Learn more about the planned features in HORIZON-ZEN FAIR-enabling deposit workflow design
Planned release in March 2025
Last update: October 14, 2024
We will add support for sharing records and drafts with users. See docs.
As part of the FAIRCORE4EOSC project, we will be improving the support for software source code types in Zenodo, as well as integrate Zenodo with Software Heritage
Improvements are right now being tested on sandbox.zenodo.org
As part of HORIZON-ZEN, we'll add support for custom visual identity on communities. The feature will only be available for specific communities.
Launched on EU Open Research Repository
The EU Open Research Repository will be expanded to allow projects to more easily sign up.
Completed June 2024.
Support for storing and displaying WADM-based annotations for PDFs and images for the Biodiversity Literature Repository. Part of the work will focus on improving performance of the IIIF APIs so that we can make image Zoom generally available.
Planned July 2024.
As part of the BiCIKL project, provide the infrastructure to support the FAIR preservation of liberated data and next-generation semantic publishing in biodiversity.
Migrate our ElasticSearch infrastructure to OpenSearch.
Planned March 2023
We are migrating Zenodo's underlying technical platform to InvenioRDM. Follow the progress on https://zenodo-rdm.web.cern.ch as well as the InvenioRDM Roadmap
Completed October 13, 2023
We are kicking off a new EU-funded project that over the coming 2 years will adding multiple new features to communities such as branding capabilities, subcommunities, basic automated curation checks, and integrate third-party FAIR assessment tools directly in the Zenodo interface.
Webhook notifications support for community events.
