Pensoft and BDJ are looking for users, use cases, and collaborators for their new (revolutionary!) writing tool. Contact them info@pentsoft.net for more information and to get started!
Abstract: The amount of biocollections data available for research is expanding at an astonishing rate. How can we speed up use of the data for knowledge discovery and new applications? How do we enhance and simplify the data citation process? How are Pensoft Publishers and the Biodiversity Data Journal streamlining the process of using biocollections data, and iDigBio specimen records in taxonomic publications? Note this import tool also works with specimen records from GBIF, BOLD (boldsystems.org) and PlutoF (plutof.ut.ee). Join us for an introduction to this publishing workflow, followed by a Demo.
See you Thursday June 16th! http://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/datamgmt from 9 - 10 am EDT.
Presenters: Viktor Senderov - Marie Curie PhD Student at Pensoft, datascience@pensoft.net and Lyubomir Penev - Managing Directory and Founder of Pensoft Publishers, penev@pensoft.net

"In a sense, the workflow will serve as a "cleaning filter" for portions of data that are passed through peer-review and are officially published. Thereafter, the published records can be confidently re-used for various purposes," comments Prof. Lyubomir Penev, Managing Director of Pensoft.
“This workflow has the potential to be a huge step forward in documenting use of collections data and enabling iDigBio and other aggregators to report that information back to the institutions providing the data." Larry Page, Director of iDigBio."
