Biodiversity research brings together the many facets of biological environmental research. Its data management is characterized by integration and is particularly challenging due to the large volume and tremendous heterogeneity of the data. At the same time, it is particularly important: A lot of the data is not reproducible. Once it is gone,...
How it works
Submit your research
- Eligibility — Any research output (data, software, posters, presentation, deliverables, ...) containing biodiversity related content, e.g. taxonomy, ecology, genetics
- Curation — Submissions are NOT curated. Submissions are NOT peer- reviewed.
- Compliance — Biodiversity Literature Repository makes it easy to comply with the related FAIR data principles.
- Zenodo — Biodiversity Literature Repository is a community inside Zenodo which is managed and hosted by CERN.
Get a BLR project community
- Manage your project's research outputs — A BLR sub-community provides you with a common space to manage research outputs from your project and from all your partners.
- Members — Allows you to manage members from across all the project's partners and determine who can submit, who can review and who can manage.
