For example: single taxon treatments and nomenclatural acts (e.g., new taxa, new taxon names, new synonyms, changes in taxonomic status, re-descriptions, etc.); data papers describing biodiversity-related databases, including ecological and environmental data; any kind of sampling report, local observations or occasional inventories; habitat-based checklists and inventories; ecological and biological observations of species and communities; any kind of identification keys, from conventional dichotomous to multi-access interactive online keys; descriptions of biodiversity-related software tools.
Types of papers include: taxonomic papers, Species inventory, Interactive key, datapapers and software description.
Biodiversity Data Journal has its own online, collaborative, article-authoring tool (Pensoft Writing Tool, PWT) that provides a large set of pre-defined, but flexible, templates that can be used for different types of article.
