Enhancing Biodiversity Science: Tackling the Publishing Bottleneck and Promoting Data Interoperability

The publishing bottleneck in biodiversity science restricts data interoperability and transparency. Key challenges include the rise in data from scientific exploration, use of non-machine-readable formats, and inconsistent publishing policies. The biodiversity journal BDJ promotes the sharing of primary data, ensuring its discoverability and potential for interdisciplinary research. With collaborations in peer review and a focus on open access, BDJ aims to counteract data duplication and enhance the overall quality of scientific literature. Join us in reshaping the landscape of biodiversity research.

Presentation Transcript

  1. ViBRANT Resolving the publishing bottleneck and increasing data interoperability in biodiversity science Lyubomir Penev, Teodor Georgiev, PavelStoev, David Roberts, Vincent Smith SEH 2013 - 17th European Congress of Herpetology, 22-27 August 2013, Veszprém, Hungary

  2. Comparable to the “taxonomic impediment”, but is caused by: “Publishing Bottleneck in Biodiversity” WHAT IS THAT? increasing amount of data due to the intensification of scientific exploration; publishing in non-machine-readable formats, e.g. paper/PDF; low uptake and inconsistent policies for data publishing; pressure of administrators to publish in “high-impact” journals; increasing difficulties with peer-review.

  3. Source: Wikipedia

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

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

  6. Low uptake of data opening and sharing

  7. Incentives to publish data… • open data increases transparency and the overall quality of science • published data can be verified by other researchers • it can be integrated with other datasets • it increases the potential for interdisciplinary research • duplication of data-collecting efforts and associated costs will be reduced • published data can be indexed and made discoverable

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

  10. Nomenclature Literature Descriptions Images Occurrences Integration of data published in the BDJ Plazi

  11. BDJ is different from ALL other journals ALL DATA MATTERS! Collaborative online article authoring, peer-review and editing Community peer review; options for “open” and “public” review Standard-compliant (Darwin Core) ICNafp and ICZN compliant article templates No lower/upper limit of manuscript size Semantically enhanced “articles of the future” Integrated with GBIF, EOL, Dryad Scratchpads, etc.

  12. What will BDJ publish? • Single taxon treatments and nomenclatural acts • Local or regional checklists • Sampling reports and occasional inventories • Habitat-based checklists and inventories • Ecological and biological observations • Single identification keys • Biodiversity-related databases, including genomic, ecological and environmental data (data papers) • Biodiversity-related software tools

  13. Choose article template

  14. Taxon treatment: new species

  15. Taxon treatment: import material data

  16. Taxon treatment: upload of images

  17. Structure of the checklist filed
