About collaboration and sharing

Zenodo's collaboration and sharing features allow you to share individual records/drafts with other users and communities.

From a high-level point of view Zenodo's features allow you to:

• Share individual records and drafts with specific users, via links as well as allow guests/users to request access.
• Share collection of records via communities.

Individual records/drafts

Individual records/drafts can be shared in different ways depending with who and how you want to share:

• User sharing - enables you to share records/drafts with other Zenodo users.
• Link sharing - enables you to create a secret link which provides access to your record (e.g. with persons that do not have a Zenodo account).
• Access requests - allows guests/users to request access to a restricted/embargoed record.

Permissions

The table below provides an overview over which permissions can be granted for the different types of sharing:

Collection of records

The communities feature allow you to organise a collection of records and share the collection with members of the community who can be granted different roles as part of the community (see about communities)

This section focuses on how you submit drafts/records to a community and how you manage your submissions (independent of if you're a member or not):

• Submit for review - learn how to submit a draft (unpublished record) to a community.
• Submit to community - learn how to submit an already published record to a community.
• Managing submissions - learn how to manage your submissions.
• Membership invitations - learn how to accept/decline membership invitations.
