Guide for publishing biological survey data to GBIF
GBIF has published the Guide for Publishing Biological Survey Data to GBIF, a resource intended to help data holders structure and make their biological survey data openly available.
This guide is aimed at researchers and other professionals in ecology, biological monitoring, environmental assessment and data management who seek to standardize and share quantitative biodiversity survey data collected systematically and intended for publication through GBIF.
How to take part in the peer review (deadline: 20 July)
