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.

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.

Plazi supports and promotes the development of persistent and openly accessible digital taxonomic literature. To this end Plazi:

Plazi & CERN — the Biodiversity Literature Repository Community is managed by Plazi in collaboration with CERN.
Funded by — the work is funded by the European Commission and the Arcadia Fund..
