Pensoft's Biodiversity Data Journal (BDJ) has been recognised as one of the high quality journals in its discipline by Clarivate Analytics. Nearly five years after the launch of the innovative, open access scholarly venue, the journal is designed to accelerate biodiversity research by closing the gap between narrative and machine-readable structured data.
Following a rigorous evaluation process, BDJ was accepted for a range of Clarivate Analytics products and services, including the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and the Journal Citation Reports, meaning it is to make use of the Journal Impact Factor and related metrics.
Furthermore, articles published in BDJ are to be abstracted in several databases: Agriculture, Biology, and Environmental Sciences; Zoological Record, Biological Abstracts and BIOSIS Previews, so that the publications are even easier to find by researchers, while citations are continuously tracked, assessed and analysed.
Unlike conventional scholarly journals, BDJ allows for the integrated publication of data alongside text, made possible through highly automated import and conversion of machine-readable structured data into human-accessible format, resulting in a wide range of article types: data papers, species occurrences, species conservation profiles, software descriptions and others. On the other hand, text published in BDJ can be easily downloaded as data or mined by computers for reuse.
