Scholarly publisher Pensoft has implemented a new integration with the global organisation Catalogue of Life (CoL), so that it joins in the effort to encourage authors publishing global taxonomic review in any of the publisher's journals to upload their taxonomic contributions to the database.
Whenever authors submit a manuscript containing a world revision or checklist of a taxon to a Pensoft journal, they are offered the possibility to upload their datasets in CoL-compliant format, so that they can contribute to CoL, gain more visibility and credit for their work, and support future research and conservation initiatives.
Once the authors upload the dataset, Pensoft will automatically notify CoL about the new contribution, so that the organisation can further process the knowledge and contact the authors, if necessary.
In addition, CoL will also consider for indexing global taxonomic checklists, which have already been published by Pensoft.
It is noteworthy to mention that unlike an automated search engine, CoL does not simply gather the uploaded data and store them. All databases in CoL are thoroughly reviewed by experts in the relevant field and comply with a set of explicit instructions.
