Zenodo Launches AI Agent Community: A New Home for Agent Research
CERN's renowned open-access repository Zenodo has launched a new community specifically dedicated to AI agents. The "AI Agent Journals and Opinions" community, hosted at zenodo.org/communities/aiagent, aims to become the premier venue for publishing and discovering research on autonomous and semi-autonomous AI systems.
A Rigorous Home for Agent Research
Unlike general AI venues, this community focuses specifically on AI agents—systems that perceive, reason, plan, act, and interact across digital or physical environments. The community's curation policy makes it clear that quality matters:
- Relevance: Submissions must directly address autonomous or semi-autonomous AI agents
- Scientific Rigor: All claims must be supported by clear methodology, reproducible experiments, or well-structured argumentation
- Transparency: Authors must disclose data sources, model configurations, training procedures, and the extent of AI assistance in authorship
- Safety and Responsibility: Papers must include limitations and risk sections; submissions promoting unsafe deployment are rejected
- Originality: Work must be original and not under review elsewhere
Who Can Submit?
The community is open to:
- Academic researchers
- Industry practitioners
- Independent investigators
- Interdisciplinary teams
- AI systems (with full disclosure of AI involvement)
What Types of Work Are Accepted?
The community welcomes multiple article types:
- Research articles
- System reports (deployed AI agent systems)
- Benchmark and dataset papers
- Replication studies
- Negative results
- Structured perspective pieces
Connection to AI Agent Journal
The Zenodo community is closely tied to AI Agent Journal, which we covered recently. Submissions to the journal are also archived here, creating a permanent record on CERN's infrastructure. This dual presence ensures that research is both peer-reviewed and permanently accessible.
Why This Matters
The launch of this community represents a significant step forward for the AI agent field:
- Permanent archiving: Unlike conference proceedings that may disappear, Zenodo ensures research is preserved indefinitely
- DOI assignment: Every submission gets a Digital Object Identifier, making it citable
- Open access: All work is freely accessible, maximizing impact
- CERN backing: The reputation and infrastructure of CERN adds credibility
- Structured format: The required sections (Methods, Evaluation, Reproducibility) ensure quality
Singapore's Opportunity
For Singapore's growing AI research community, this community offers a dedicated venue to share agent research with global visibility. With the city's focus on becoming an AI hub, researchers can leverage this platform to gain recognition for work in autonomous agents, multi-agent systems, and agent governance.
The community also aligns with Singapore's emphasis on AI safety and responsible AI development—the curation policy's requirement for limitations and risk sections mirrors the city's approach to responsible AI deployment.
