Open Science in Action: Preserving 10 Flagship AI & Engineering Frameworks on CERN Zenodo

The Reproducibility Imperative in Scientific Software
One of the greatest challenges facing the modern artificial intelligence and computational engineering disciplines is the software reproducibility crisis. Repositories on code-hosting platforms can experience bit-rot, altered commit histories, or accidental deletions. For academic research to be truly defensible, software artifacts must be treated as first-class scientific publications — complete with immutable versioning, permanent Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), and rigorous metadata indexing.
To advance the principles of Open Science and ensure long-term reproducibility, I have permanently archived 10 flagship open-source software repositories on CERN Zenodo — the European Organization for Nuclear Research's open-access repository funded by the European Commission.
Master Portfolio: The 10 CERN Zenodo-Archived Frameworks
Below is the complete matrix of archived frameworks, each equipped with its permanent Concept DOI, versioning tier, and verified DataCite schemas:

FAIR Data & Software Principles
By establishing these permanent depositions, every project strictly adheres to the international FAIR standard:
- Findable: Metadata indexed directly on DataCite and Google Scholar with discoverable academic taxonomies.
- Accessible: Source code archives and pre-compiled assets stored on CERN's high-redundancy distributed storage.
- Interoperable: Machine-readable
CITATION.cfffiles enabling seamless ingestion into Mendeley, Zotero, and BibTeX bibliographies. - Reusable: Permissive MIT licenses accompanied by clear academic citation guidance.
