0008 The ePIC Collaboration is leveraging [Zenodo digital repository](https://zenodo.org/){:target="_blank"}
0009 for its document management capability. Our materials are managed as the
0010 ["ePIC Community on Zenodo"](https://zenodo.org/communities/epic/){:target="_blank"}.
0011
0012 ### What is Zenodo?
0013
0014 Zenodo is an open-source data repository designed for scientific
0015 disciplines. ePIC is using a public implementation called Zenodo.org
0016 which is supported by CERN, OpenAire and the European Union. For more
0017 information, consult the Zenodo.org [<span
0018 class="underline">FAQ</span>](https://help.zenodo.org/faq/).
0019
0020 ### How To Upload A Document to Zenodo
0021
0022 Start by navigating to [<span
0023 class="underline">Zenodo.org</span>](http://zenodo.org) and log in or
0024 create an account. Either process is simple and straightforward. If you
0025 are creating a new account, consider using either a ORCID or GitHub sign
0026 in to simplify the process. In particular, ORCID is a unique, persistent
0027 identifier that can be used across multiple platforms. For more
0028 information, visit [<span
0029 class="underline">orcid.org</span>](https://info.orcid.org/what-is-orcid/).
0030
0031 Once you are logged in, go to your Dashboard, as shown on the right
0032 below:
0033
0034 <img src="/assets/images/zenodo/ZenodoLogin.png" style="width:2.2708in;height:3.51667in" />
0035
0036 <img src="/assets/images/zenodo/ZenodoDashboardLink.png" style="width:4.17161in;height:0.47064in" />
0037
0038 In your Dashboard in the upper right-hand corner you will see a button
0039 that will start the process of uploading a new document.
0040
0041 <img src="/assets/images/zenodo/NewUpload.png" style="width:1.7in;height:0.71667in" />
0042
0043 <img src="/assets/images/zenodo/NewUploadForm.png" style="width:6.49167in;height:4.54167in" />
0044
0045 From this form you can upload your file and answer some basic questions
0046 to allow the submission to be categorized. Don’t panic! There’s a lot of
0047 information requested in this form, but only some is required.
0048
0049 The first thing that you will want to do is to associate this upload
0050 with the ePIC Community. Hit the “Select a Community” button at the top
0051 of the page, and type in “ePIC” – the ePIC Experiment will be at the top
0052 of the list of communities for you to select.
0053
0054 You can now fill in the metadata for your upload. At a minimum, your
0055 upload should include the following information:
0056
0057 - A DOI (Digital Object Identifier). If you already have one you can enter it on the form, if you don’t select “No” and a button will appear that will allow you to generate one for your document.
0058
0059 - Select a descriptive title and publication date. If this is a conference presentation, it is helpful if you use the date you made the presentation. Otherwise, you can just enter today’s date.
0060
0061 - You will need to add information about the creator of this document. Typically this is you, but you can add multiple creators if that is appropriate. If you have an ORCID ID, it’s best to enter this in the form to add a creator as that uniquely identifies you.
0062
0063 - Add a meaningful description.
0064
0065 - The default license for the document (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International) is usually fine. If you want a specific license, you can select one here.
0066
0067 This is all the required information by Zenodo, but to make the document
0068 easy to find for your fellow collaborators you should add one or more
0069 keywords. All ePIC documents should include at a minimum the “epic-eic”
0070 keyword. Additional keywords for ePIC documents are maintained on the
0071 [<span class="underline">ePIC
0072 website</span>](https://www.epic-eic.org/documents/keywords.html). If
0073 you are unsure of the keywords, don’t worry, the curator will check the
0074 keywords and update them if necessary.
0075
0076 You can also fill in additional information on funding, publisher,
0077 related works, and alternate identifiers. You can also include
0078 references to software repositories, but none of these are necessary.
0079
0080 The last thing you have to do is decide if your document will be
0081 “Public” or “Restricted”. A “Public” document is available to the world.
0082 This might be appropriate for a conference presentation or proceedings.
0083 A “Restricted” document is only available to members of the ePIC
0084 community.
0085
0086 <img src="/assets/images/zenodo/Visibility.png" style="width:3.96667in;height:2.91667in" />
0087
0088 The last step is to submit your document for review. Click the “Submit
0089 for Review” button in the upper right hand corner. Your document will be
0090 queued for approval by a DSC Leader, WG Convener or Conference Committee
0091 Chair or Vice-Chair. There is no automatic notification, so it would be
0092 a good idea to email the relevant person or persons and let them know a
0093 document is available for approval.
0094
0095 <img src="/assets/images/zenodo/SubmitForReview.png" style="width:3.975in;height:2.21667in" />
0096
0097 If there are any problems with the information Zenodo.org will let you
0098 know and you can correct it and resubmit.
0099
0100 ### How To Approve A Document Submission to Zenodo
0101
0102 Under **My Dashboard -> Requests** (or **My Dashboard ->
0103 Communities -> ePIC -> Requests**) click on the request that you
0104 want to review. You can also get there from the link sent in the
0105 notification email titled “📥 New record submission to your community
0106 'ePIC'”.
0107
0108 <img src="/assets/images/zenodo/NewSubmission.png" style="width:6.5in;height:1.875in" />
0109
0110 After clicking on the request title, go to the **Record** tab**.**
0111 Review the metadata, like, e.g., conference name, description, etc. Most
0112 importantly, check if the proper keyword has been added to the entry
0113 (list of keywords: [<span
0114 class="underline">https://www.epic-eic.org/documents/keywords.html</span>](https://www.epic-eic.org/documents/keywords.html)).
0115
0116 If you see that some metadata requires modification you can either fix
0117 it yourself by clicking **Edit**, or in the **Conversation** tab request
0118 changes from the person submitting the record. In particular, check the
0119 keywords - Is the required keyword “epic-eic” included? Are there other
0120 keywords specific to the Working Group or DSC that should be added?
