Data publishing
For more information, please visit our detailed Data Publishing Policies and Guidelines for Biodiversity Data.
A substantial feature of the semantic Web is open data publishing, where not only analysed results, but original datasets can be published as citeable items so that the data authors may receive academic dredit for their efforts. Pensoft supports various methods for data publication, such as downloadable data packages supplementary to a research article, or hosted in and linked to data repositories. There are several incentives for authors and instutions to publish data:
- Data produced and collected using public funds can be published, cited, used and re-used, either as separate datasets or collated with other data;
- Data can be indexed and made discoverable, browsable and searchable through biodiversity infrastructures (e.g., the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), Dryad and others):
- Data can be integrated with other datasets across space to bring recognition and new opportunities for collaboration to the data authors;
- Collection managers can trace usage and citations of digitized data from their collections;
- By publishing data, authors and institutions are credited for their work to create and maintain data through registering of priority and authorship through indexing, discovery and citation;
- Datasets, metadata and respective data papers are inter-linked to expedite and mutually extend the dissemination, to the benefit of the authors and society at large.
The core of the data publishing project of Pensoft is the concept of “Data Paper” developed in a cooperation with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). Data Papers are peer-reviewed scholarly publications that describe the published datasets and provide an opportunity to data authors to receive the academic credit for their efforts. Currently, Pensoft offers the opportunity to publish Data Papers describing occurrence data and checklists, Barcode-of-Life genome data and biodiversity-related software tools, such as interactive keys and others.
Pensoft reached an agreement for cooperation in data hosting and developing of data publishing workflows with the GBIF, the Dryad Data Repository and the Consortium for Barcode of Life.

Pensoft adheres to open access as
much as possible to accelerate the
barrier-free dissemination of
scientific knowledge. Several of
our journals and e-books can be
read, downloaded, printed and
distributed at no charge for the
reader!
By publishing open access, authors benefit from a higher visibility and increased citation rate of their papers!
