A release record, as it will read at deposit.
Tomara berdanêA release record: digest, signatures, DOI and the open indexes. Illustrative interface; example values.
Your record, curated into the edition.
Your record, step by step, from deposit to citation.
You keep your own record and DOI; curators accept or decline it into the rêzeya Pergalên Stratejîk community in the open, and an accepted record is linked from the edition and indexed.
| Gav | What happens | Çavkanî |
|---|---|---|
| 01 Deposit your record | Upload your files to Zenodo under your own account and add your ORCID iD; the record and its DOI stay yours. | |
| 02 Describe it | Fill the DataCite fields and add related identifiers, so the record says what it is, who made it and what it relates to. | |
| 03 Choose a route | Submit it to the Reports community, or send its DOI through the GCRI Canada gateway on this page. Either way it reaches the same curators. | |
| 04 Curators decide in the open | Curators accept or decline the request with a reason that stays visible on the request. | |
| 05 Linked and indexed | An accepted record gets a UNI, is linked from the edition as a source or supplement and flows to OpenAIRE and OpenAlex. | |
| 06 Cited with your DOI | The next edition cites the record with its DOI and credits you; a correction to it becomes a new version, never a silent edit. |
A teaching model of the process, not a forecast and not a record of any run; dates and counts on this page come from the programme record. Sources: Reports governance at GCRI Canada (2026); Zenodo, repository of record for Reports deposits (2026); DataCite Metadata Schema (2024).

A worked example for a dataset. With scripts on, this becomes a form that writes the three files for your own record.

How an edition is published.
| Element | How it is done |
|---|---|
| Repository | Zenodo deposit for each edition: the PDF, the HTML package and the data bundle |
| Nasname | Concept DOI for the edition, version DOI for each version, a UNI for every finding and figure |
| Metadata | DataCite metadata with ORCID for people, ROR for organisations and funder identifiers |
| Package | RO-Crate with DCAT, PROV-O, CITATION.cff and CodeMeta |
| Yekparebûn | A signed manifest and build provenance for every release; content credentials on figures |
| Rastkirin | A new version with the notice; the concept DOI resolves to the latest version |
| Discovery | OpenAIRE, OpenAlex and OAI-PMH harvesting follow from the DOI and the metadata |
Open platforms, and what each does.
| Platform | What it does for Reports | What you can do | Girêdan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zenodo | Repository of record: editions, data bundles and accepted contributions with DataCite DOIs; the concept DOI resolves to the latest version. | Deposit your own record and submit it to the Reports community. | Visit Zenodo |
| ORCID | Contributor identity: your iD travels in the metadata, so DataCite can update your ORCID record. | Add your iD; credit follows your CRediT role. | Visit ORCID |
| ROR | Organisation identity for affiliations and publishers. | Name your organisation; it is resolved to its ROR record. | Visit ROR |
| Software Heritage | Code and models preserved with a SWHID; releases archived on Zenodo with CITATION.cff and CodeMeta. | Point to a release; the exact version is cited. | Visit Software Heritage |
| DataCite and Crossref | DOIs and their relations (new version of, supplemented by, derived from) keep the record linked. | Cite your existing DOI; it is linked, never re-registered. | Visit DataCite and Crossref |
| OpenAIRE and OpenAlex | Discovery: deposits flow into the OpenAIRE Graph and OpenAlex. | Nothing to do; it follows from the DOI and the metadata. | Visit OpenAIRE and OpenAlex |
Eight parts applied to every record.
Reports applies these Nexus Standards parts (preparatory working drafts, 2026) with the external standards they adopt. Conformance is attestation, not certification.
| Beş | Title | How Reports applies it |
|---|---|---|
| NS-1 | Çavdêrxaneya UNI and the artefact catalogue | Every edition, finding, figure and accepted contribution receives a UNI that resolves to its record and versions. |
| NS-2 | Citation and attribution | Editor-first citation (NR-CIT-1), CRediT contributor roles, machine forms from one citation record. |
| NS-3b | Dataset and product metadata profile | Data bundles in DCAT, STAC and PROV-O, packed as RO-Crate, so every value resolves to its source. |
| NS-5 | Figures, maps and visualisation | Figures carry source, licence, boundary source and content credentials. |
| NS-12 | Software, models and AI/ML artefacts | Code and models carry CodeMeta, CITATION.cff and SPDX identifiers; AI assistance is disclosed. |
| NS-13 | Open standards development process | Comments and proposals on report method enter as dockets, answered in the open. |
| NS-14 | Lihevhatin û nexşeya li standardên derveyî | Report metadata crosswalks to DataCite, InvenioRDM, schema.org, JATS and Crossref; conformance is attestation. |
| NS-16 | UNI application profile | One profile for articles, documents, code, data, APIs and interfaces. |

What GCRI Systems Evidence deposits.
GCRI deposits the pergalan editions of the series it leads, with their data bundles, methods and figures.
An edition is part of its Collection and its country collection. A contribution supplements the edition that used it. A correction is a new version of the record it amends.
How GCRI Systems Evidence reads a record.
GCRI reads an edition for evidence quality. Chapter 6 of its own edition cross-references the other five desks and never copies them.
If you hold a record for GCRI Systems Evidence.
If you hold the evidence behind a finding, deposit it to the GCRI community and submit it. The edition will cite it as a supplement, and the DOI stays yours.
