How it works
Submit your research
- Eligibility — Any research output (data, software, posters, presentation, deliverables, ...) containing biodiversity related content, e.g. taxonomy, ecology, genetics
- Curation — Submissions are NOT curated. Submissions are NOT peer- reviewed.
- Compliance — Biodiversity Literature Repository makes it easy to comply with the related FAIR data principles.
- Zenodo — Biodiversity Literature Repository is a community inside Zenodo which is managed and hosted by CERN.
Get a BLR project community
- Manage your project's research outputs — A BLR sub-community provides you with a common space to manage research outputs from your project and from all your partners.
- Members — Allows you to manage members from across all the project's partners and determine who can submit, who can review and who can manage.
