  2. One more new journal?Why?

  3. The problem

  4. Source: Wikipedia

  5. Drawings: slavenapeneva.com Primary data

  6. … and some hundreds millions pages of biodiversity literature in various languages

  7. Estimated ca 1.8 Mio articles per annum, not counting the grey literature!

  8. A solution

  9. RE-USE of CONTENT Publishing and sharing of primary data Primary data

  10. So, why do we need another new journal? • We need to encourage taxonomists to mobilize & describe their data, especially small data • This takes considerable effort (e.g. GBIF, Scratchpads experience) • “Arguably” this is best rewarded through credit • This means papers and citations • Process must be very easy for authors • Process must facilitate data reuse • Meet “Open Data” policy commitments • The Biodiversity Data Journal is very different…

  11. Key features ALL DATA MATTERS! Collaborative article authoring Online peer-review and editing Community peer review; options for “open” and “public” review Standard-compliant (DwC, NLM DTD) Biological Codes compliant article templates No lower/upper limit of manuscript size Semantically enhanced “articles of the future” Integrated with GBIF, EOL, Dryad Scratchpads, etc.

  12. Workflow XML submission Community peer-review (options for public and Open review) ALL ONLINE!
