Thank you for mentioning Zenodo. I really liked how EU funding agencies push for reproducibility/citability of data and code when you submit proposals to them.

I haven’t filed any NSF stuff (yet) but didn’t come across any such hard requirements where you had to commit to something like zenodo or else to archive the result of your research work for archiving/citations purposes.

I <3 Zenodo. My societies don't require open data, but that's a generational shift.

Also, if you do bio-type research, you can use Data Dryad too!

Zenodo is great! In theory you could also upload a docker image to Zenodo and give it a DOI, but it doesn't seem to have an especially elegant way to pull this image after the fact.
