Best practice question on Open Educational Materials #OER

I created a course website/booklet.

The website is under: https://berd-nfdi.github.io/BERD-reproducible-research-course/

The source is on GitHub: https://github.com/BERD-NFDI/BERD-reproducible-research-course

Now I'd like to generate a DOI for this via OSF. What would you do?

👉 Connect the GitHub rep to OSF and create DOI for that?
👉 Put the html on OSF and create a DOI for that?
👉 Both of the above?
👉 Other?

I could also generate a PDF with the same material, for example.

I am confused.

🙏 Please help!

Zenodo may provide what you need. Please note the many new features in the latest release: https://help.zenodo.org/docs/about/whats-new/

Zenodo - Research. Shared.

Zenodo is a free and open digital archive built by CERN and OpenAIRE, enabling researchers to share and preserve research output in any size, format and from all fields of research.

thanks Alan, I am aware of Zenodo, but my experience is that both OSF and Zenodo have similar features.

Can I ask why specifically OSF and not for insance Zenodo? This is a purely curiosity question. I'd gravitate towards zenodo, but thats all based on famliarity.

@Drmowinckels to be honest, no particular reason. I find both very similar in use.

@Drmowinckels I tend to think of OSF as more of "working project" model, with Zenodo being more of a "stable release" model.

@noamross @Drmowinckels Many of the new Zenodo features are particularly attractive for use by research groups. It would be interesting to see a comparison. Maybe this could be an extension of this work, or companion piece?

Seems this ideas has been explored:
https://fairsharing.org/GeneralRepositoryComparison
https://evodify.com/free-research-repository/
But perhaps should be revisited from time to time given evolution of the various tools. Hope this is helpful!

The best free Research Data Repository

I compare the most popular repository for research data: Dryad, Zenodo, FigShare, Open Science Framework, and Mendeley.
