CONTENT
So, why one more new journal?
We need to encourage taxonomists to mobilize & describe their data, especially small dataThis takes considerable effort (e.g. GBIF, Scratchpads experience)“Arguably” this is best rewarded through creditThis means papers and citationsProcess must be very easy for authorsProcess must facilitate data reuseMeet “Open Data” policy commitments
Key features
Collaborative article authoringOnline peer-review and editingCommunity peer review; options for “open” and “public” reviewStandard-compliant (DwC, NLM DTD)Biological Codes compliant article templatesNo lower/upper limit of manuscript sizeSemantically enhanced “articles of the future”Integrated with GBIF, EOL, Dryad Scratchpads, etc.ALL DATA MATTERS!

Multiple Data Publishing Models1. Supplementary data files downloadable from the
journals’ website2. Data deposited at specialized data repositories
(Dryad, Pangaea) 3. Data published through data repositories but indexed
and collated with other data (GenBank, GBIF IPT) 4. Data published in the form of marked-up and
machine-readable text (XML). 5. Extended use of multimedia and semantic
enhancements
What will BDJ publish?Single taxon treatments and nomenclatural acts Local/regional and habitat-based checklistsSampling reports and occasional inventoriesEcological and biological observations of species and communitiesIdentification keys Data papers for any biodiversity-related type of data (genomic, phylogenetic, ecological, environmental, etc.)Descriptions of biodiversity-related software tools and workflows

What the experts say? "Science is a combination of gathering facts and making theories; neither can progress on its own. [...] In the history of science, the laborious accumulation of facts is the dominant mode, not a novelty."
