Zenodo Deposit Checklist — Preprint v1.0
Step-by-step protocol for minting a permanent DOI for the TLTE preprint and machine-readable corpus via Zenodo (CERN). Drag-drop ready.
Status · Minted
The preprint DOI is live. Version-DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20430548 (pins v1.0.0). Concept-DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20430547 (always resolves to the latest version). Record: zenodo.org/record/20430548. The checklist below is preserved as historical method for future versions.
Why Zenodo: Zenodo is operated by CERN, is funded by the EU OpenAIRE programme, and issues DataCite DOIs. Deposits are preserved for at least the lifetime of the host laboratory. No fees. No paywall. CC BY 4.0 compatible. Indexed by ORCID, OpenAIRE, and major academic search.

New Upload → Publication → Preprint
Drag the PDF from /briefs/research-preprint-v1.pdf. Zenodo will accept files up to 50 GB; the preprint is ~1 MB.
- 3
Paste the .zenodo.json metadata
The repo root contains .zenodo.json with title, creators, license (CC BY 4.0), keywords, related identifiers, and the UK §12 compliance note. Zenodo auto-fills from this file when a GitHub release is linked, or you can copy/paste fields manually.
- 4
Verify the related identifiers
Three URLs must resolve before publishing: /research/preprint (isSupplementTo), /api/public/corpus.json (isDerivedFrom), /the-architecture (documents). Click each to confirm.
- 5
Select community (optional)
Do NOT join activist or political communities. If a community is selected, prefer methodology-focused ones (e.g. Berkeley Protocol working group, OSINT4Good).
- 6
Publish & pin the DOI
Zenodo issues a permanent DOI (10.5281/zenodo.NNNNNNN). Paste it into src/routes/research.preprint.tsx scripts block as identifier, replacing 'tlte-cite:preprint-v1'.
- 7
Update citations-registry
Add the Zenodo DOI to src/lib/citations-registry.ts on the preprint-v1 entry, so Velicham can ground 'where is the DOI?' answers.
- 8
Re-run eval
GET /api/public/velicham-eval?key=<TLTE_EVAL_KEY>&from=84&to=95 — confirm preprint cases still pass with the DOI in the corpus.
What this page is not
- Not the deposit itself — TLTE will not mint the DOI; the named coordinator with an institutional ORCID does.
- Not a replacement for peer review — Zenodo issues a citable DOI, not a peer-review verdict.
- Not a Zenodo endorsement of TLTE positions — Zenodo accepts deposits without content review beyond CC compatibility.
