Biodiversity Data Journal (BDJ) is designed to accelerate publishing, dissemination and sharing of biodiversity-related data of any kind. All structural elements of the articles: text, morphological descriptions, occurrences, data tables, etc. will be treated and stored as DATA, in accordance with the Data Publishing Policies and Guidelines of Pensoft Publishers.
The journal publishes papers in biodiversity science containing taxonomic, floristic/faunistic, morphological, genomic, phylogenetic, ecological or environmental data on any taxon of any geological age from any part of the world with no lower or upper limit to manuscript size. 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.
