  • The Data Paper: a Mechanism to Incentivize Data Publishing in Biodiversity Science Vishwas Chavan1,2*†, Lyubomir Penev1,2†
    Chavan and Penev BMC Bioinformatics 2011, 12(Suppl 15):S2 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/12/S15/S2 RESEARCH Open Access The data paper: a mechanism to incentivize data publishing in biodiversity science Vishwas Chavan1,2*†, Lyubomir Penev1,2† Background: Free and open access to primary biodiversity data is essential for informed decision-making to achieve conservation of biodiversity and sustainable development. However, primary biodiversity data are neither easily accessible nor discoverable. Among several impediments, one is a lack of incentives to data publishers for publishing of their data resources. One such mechanism currently lacking is recognition through conventional scholarly publication of enriched metadata, which should ensure rapid discovery of ‘fit-for-use’ biodiversity data resources. Discussion: We review the state of the art of data discovery options and the mechanisms in place for incentivizing data publishers efforts towards easy, efficient and enhanced publishing, dissemination, sharing and re-use of biodiversity data. We propose the establishment of the ‘biodiversity data paper’ as one possible mechanism to offer scholarly recognition for efforts and investment by data publishers in authoring rich metadata and publishing them as citable academic papers. While detailing the benefits to data publishers, we describe the objectives, work flow and outcomes of the pilot project commissioned by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility in collaboration with scholarly publishers and pioneered by Pensoft Publishers through its journals Zookeys, PhytoKeys, MycoKeys, BioRisk, NeoBiota, Nature Conservation and the forthcoming Biodiversity Data Journal. We then debate further enhancements of the data paper beyond the pilot project and attempt to forecast the future uptake of data papers as an incentivization mechanism by the stakeholder communities.

PhytoKeys 1: 1–14. doi: 10.3897/phytokeys.1.642 Abstract The paper describes the focus, scope and the rationale of PhytoKeys, a newly established, peer-reviewed, open-access journal in plant systematics. PhytoKeys is launched to respond to four main challenges of our time: (1) Appearance of electronic publications as amendments or even alternatives to paper publications; (2) Open Access (OA) as a new publishing model; (3) Linkage of electronic registers, indices and ag- gregators that summarize information on biological species through taxonomic names or their persistent identifiers (Globally Unique Identifiers or GUIDs; currently Life Science Identifiers or LSIDs); (4) Web 2.0 technologies that permit the semantic markup of, and semantic enhancements to, published biological texts.

ZooKeys 50: 17–28. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.50.539 Abstract We describe a method to publish nomenclatural acts described in taxonomic websites (Scratchpads) that are formally registered through publication in a printed journal (ZooKeys). Th is method is fully compliant with the zoological nomenclatural code. Our approach supports manuscript creation (via a Scratchpad), electronic act registration (via ZooBank), online and print publication (in the journal ZooKeys) and simultaneous dissemination (ZooKeys and Scratchpads) for nomenclatorial acts including new species de- scriptions. Th e workfl ow supports the generation of manuscripts directly from a database and is illustrated by two sample papers published in the present issue.

ARPHA-BioDiv is based on the infrastructure, knowledge and exeprience gathered in the years-long research, development and publishing activities of Pensoft, upgraded with novel tools and workflows that resulted from the FP7 project EU BON. What is ARPHA-BioDiv? The transformation from human- to machine-readability of published content is a key feature of the dramatic changes experienced by academic publishing in the last decade.

It has been exactly ten years since the launch of the journal on 4 July 2008 that emanated from a delightful breakfast at the Entomological Society of America meeting in December 2007 in San Diego, California, when our Managing Editor and founder of Pensoft, Lyubomir Penev, proposed the idea to Terry Erwin, our Editor-in-Chief. The journal’s tenth birthday is a great occasion to trace back its development and achievements since then, which has exceeded far beyond that initial breakfast dream of two colleagues en- joying the southern California sun.

Found- ed in 1994 in Bulgaria, “by academics, for academics”, initially focusing on book publishing, it has grown to become an innovative and leading open access journal publisher. Pensoft has published more than 1000 books and over 3,000 open access articles, mostly in the field of natural history. The company is actively developing new methods for dissemination of taxonomy information, including semantically enhanced content exported to global data aggregators. In 2013, Pensoft launched the first ever end-to-end XML-based authoring, reviewing and publishing workflow, as demonstrated by the Pensoft Writing Tool (PWT) and the Biodiversity Data Journal (BDJ). The company has also developed several tools for semantic publishing, such as the Pensoft Markup Tool (PMT), Pensoft Taxon Profile (PTP), Pensoft Wiki Converter (PWC), the literature and data discovery tool HYPERLINK “http:// refindit.org/” Refindit.org, and others. Pensoft is partnering with TDWG and GBIF in pioneering data publishing standards and work-flows and is also a participant in several FP6, FP7 and Horizon2020 projects as a specialist in dissemination, communication, web design and technology development.
