As a follow-up of the discussions in the Data Protocols and Management Scientific Working Group during the recent 14th IAMC Annual Meeting, a new opportunity to share data, tools and other materials with the IAM community and other researchers and analysts has been established. With Zenodo becoming the de-facto standard repository for research data and other material, there is now a dedicated IAMC community for associated data sets (https://zenodo.org/communities/iamconsortium/). It makes finding IAMC data sets easy and is curated by the IIASA ECE program.
Adding your data set to the Zenodo IAMC is easy and can be done during upload of new data or added to existing data sets. When editing your data set, under ‘Communities’ simply search for ‘IAMC’ and select it. The IIASA Zenodo admin is then notified and can accept your request. This new opportunity to effectively share data and other material with your fellow researchers, complements the existing IAMC GitHub organization (https://github.com/iamconsortium) that for some time allows to share and jointly develop source code of models and tools related to IAM research. GitHub and Zenodo can also be used together to make releases of your source code citable and via the Zenodo IAMC community easily findable by other IAM researchers.
