Hi Everyone,

Brought to you by Pensoft Publishers and the Biodiversity Data Journal, hope to see you Thursday at the iDigBio Webinar: Online direct import of specimen records from iDigBio infrastructure into taxonomic manuscripts

Thursday 16 June 9 - 10 AM EDT, (1 pm to 2 pm UTC), 4 pm - 5 pm EEST http://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/datamgmt

"...this import tool (ARPHA Writing Tool) works with specimen records from iDigBio, GBIF, BOLD (boldsystems.org) and PlutoF (plutof.ut.ee). Join us for an introduction to this publishing workflow, followed by a Demo."

"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.
