  • ⌨️ CLI Interface: Easy-to-use command-line interface for quick operations

Integration with Ecosystem

  • 🤖 CausalIQ Workflow (causaliq-workflow) makes use of this package (zenodo-sync) to download datasets and intermediate results required for experimental workflows, and to upload new results and analysis to Zenodo.
  • 🧪 CausalIQ Papers (causaliq-papers) are defined in terms of CausalIQ Workflows allowing the reproduction of experiments, results and published paper assets created by the CausalIQ ecosystem.

Standalone Use

  • 🌐 Zenodo Synchronisation is general-purpose software which can synchronise any local resources with Zenodo deposits.


Zenodo Synchronisation streamlines research data management for the ecosystem, offering robust, general-purpose tools to automate and simplify Zenodo repository synchronization with modern software engineering practices.
