Somali Research and Education Repository (SORER)

SORER is open access self-archiving multi-institutional digital repository system, based on Zenodo, a general-purpose open repository developed under the European OpenAIRE program and operated by CERN, SORER allows Somali researchers to deposit research papers, data sets, research software, reports, and any other research related digital artefacts. It also enables Somali higher education and research institutions to host their research and educational resources for greater visibility and increased access.

SORER features:

  • Research. Shared : all research outputs from across all domains of Somali research are welcome!
  • Findable. Citeable. Discoverable : each upload gets a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to make it easily and uniquely citeable. You can (automatically) link your research outputs to your ORCID profile.
  • Communities : create and curate your own community for a workshop, project, Division. Laboratory, service, journal, etc. into which you can accept or reject uploads.
  • Funding : you can associate an upload to the grant that has funded the work.
  • Flexible licensing : you can choose among several licenses. You can also upload closed or embargoed research outputs.
