IndraStra Global Open Repository

IndraStra Global Open Repository is a Zenodo-powered repository that is used for sharing and publishing open research data created in the form of articles, reports, datasets, etc. by the staff, contributors, and strategic knowledge partners affiliated with IndraStra Global.

Underlining the Open Access principles, IGOR allows contributing authors of IndraStra (anywhere in the world) to submit their pre-prints, post-prints, and other datasets over OAI-PMH enabled repository. The new open repository is based on Zenodo platform, created by OpenAIRE and CERN Geneva which accelerates time to indexing in the complex world of digital publishing.

Background

IGOR provides 2-legged ORCID OAuth authorization during the login, and at the same time, it allows multiple upload types, such as publications, posters, presentations, datasets, images, videos, audios, software, lessons, etc., and prepares them to be search-engine friendly, especially the title, abstracts, keywords, and headings. Most researchers use specific terms that are only known by their peers in their own fields. IGOR gives authors the tools they need to choose general keywords that are often used to optimize. The submission may eventually be picked up by search engines on the internet.

During the upload, authors can also choose to mention the names of co-authors and collaborators along with the access rights of their works and multiple copyright licensing options. Also, there is a provision to specify identifiers of related publications and datasets. Supported identifiers include DOI (with versioning option for Zenodo owned DOIs), Handle, ARK, PURL, ISSN, ISBN, PubMed ID, PubMed Central ID, ADS Bibliographic Code, arXiv, Life Science Identifiers (LSID), EAN-13, ISTC, URNs, and URLs.

Launch

IGOR was launched on July 17, 2018.
