Snapshot of PDF links for taxonomic papers in BioNames

This dataset is a list of all URLs for PDFs in the database BioNames, which links publications of new taxonomic names for animals to persistent identifiers and PDFs for those publications. The database is continually edited and hence PDF links that no longer work or have changed (e.g., from HTTP to HTTPS) may be overwritten. Because no longer functioning PDF links may be useful measures of link rot I have created this snapshot of PDF links in the current version of BioNames This snapshot was made on the date the data was uploaded to Zenodo. It may be updated in future versions.

The dataset was generated from a local MySQL database using the query:

SELECT DISTINCT 
IFNULL(sici, '') AS sici,  
IFNULL(title, '') AS title,  
IFNULL(journal, '') AS journal, 
IFNULL(volume, '') AS volume,  
IFNULL(spage, '') AS spage,  
IFNULL(epage, '') AS epage,  
IFNULL(year, '') AS year,  
IFNULL(doi, '') AS doi,  
IFNULL(handle, '') AS handle,  
IFNULL(url, '') AS url, 
pdf,
updated
FROM names 
WHERE pdf IS NOT NULL 
ORDER BY journal, year;
