Publishing and Archiving Costs
Open Context provides researchers with the following services:
- Editing, annotation, peer-review and open access publishing for research data and media
- Assignment of Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) to promote long term data citation and contextual integrity
- Data archiving preservation with Zenodo and the University of California's Merritt digital repository (managed by the California Digital Library)
While data published by Open Context are free to use, Open Context charges contributing researchers fees for publishing and archiving services.
