deploy2zenodo: A Flexible Solution for Automated Publishing of Research Data

Abstract

Automating the publication process is crucial for datasets with frequent versions, such as software or measurement data. Initially, deploy2zenodo was designed for use in continuous integration GitLab CI pipelines, but its potential extends beyond this. As a shell script, deploy2zenodo can simplify the release of new versions for various research data types, including measurement data, enabling faster and more frequent updates. Aligning with the FAIR principles, deploy2zenodo ensures that your data is openly accessible in a repository, providing a persistent identifier for proper citation and discovery.
