Zenodo is a scholarly publishing platform which CERN provides. It is useful for Meta-Wiki as a highly stable platform for storing academic article pre-prints, datasets, and figures which require a traditional publishing format but do not require peer review or the traditional publishing process.

If anyone has the copyright to academic content and wants to store it in a way that is accessible for Wikimedia projects and more, then Zenodo offers quick and easy access to benefits which are hard to find elsewhere.
