AB In  this  case  study,  we  aim  to  explore  the  characteristics  and  the  reception  of  files
            
            uploaded to Zenodo, and the role the repository plays itself in generating usage. To this
            
            end, we first apply descriptive statistics on Zenodo’s full set of data record metadata with
            
            digital object identifiers (DOIs) until and including January 2017 (n = 141,777 records).
            
            Second, we estimate the coverage of Zenodo datasets in the Data Citation Index as
            
            well as of Zenodo journal articles in the Science Citation Index, Social Science Citation
            
            Index, and Arts and Humanities Citation Index, Zenodo books and book chapters in the
            
            Book Citation Index, and Zenodo conference papers in the Proceedings Citation Index,
            
            and analyze their citedness according to the different data record types in Zenodo (e.g.,
            
            journal article, dataset, book, or conference paper). Third, we provide a bibliometric anal-
            
            ysis of Zenodo records by using different metrics for citedness, including citation, usage,
            
            and  altmetrics.  Altmetrics  data  are  gathered  from  two  of  the  most  popular  tools  for
            
            altmetric analyses, PlumX and Altmetric.com, and we compare the results. Moreover, we
            
            study how open access and DOIs provided by Zenodo influence the impact of Zenodo
            
            data records and we find a tendency toward a positive relationship between permissive
            access rights and altmetrics in certain data records.
