OA-WCVP

OA-WCVP is a holder for repositories that automate the data access, analysis and result visualisation for the World Checklist of Vascular Plants special issue article "Global access to botanical resources: assessing the digital availability of types and specimens and open access literature"

Respository Purpose Research questions Spatiotemporal range & source Results
ipni-oa analysis - author behaviour: selection of publication venue (1a) What proportion of IPNI monitored nomenclatural acts are published open access, and how is this changing over time?
(1b) What OA statuses (green, gold, bronze, hybrid etc) are reported, and how are these changing over time?
(2) Which journals are publishing names and how are they using open access?
2012-2021; WCVP range for taxon latest
ipni-oa-map-charts visualisation - spatial presentation of results from ipni-oa analysis (3) Do these trends vary with the WCVP distribution of the species? 2012-2021; WCVP range for taxon latest
wcvp-gbif-processing analysis - from where are type materials mobilised (4) Is type material mobilised to GBIF from within the native range of the taxon, and does this vary after key dates such as the implementation of the CBD (1992) and Nagoya (2014) all; WCVP range for taxon latest
paper compilation Integrates article text with archived analytical outputs (charts / summary statistics) from the repositories above Latest

The description of work (as submitted in the call for abstracts) is here cross-referenced with each analysis repository:

WCVP will be used to give a globally comprehensive taxonomy with distribution. The link from a taxon concept in WCVP to the nomenclatural event in IPNI will be used to gather two classes of additional data recorded in IPNI: (1) type citation data (recorded since 1997) and (2) article digital object identifiers (DOIs), recorded since 2012. Type citation data will be used to assess the digital availability of type specimens, using GBIF as a datasource (see catalog-number-access). A more general assessment of the availability of specimens will be made using the WCVP taxonomy as a lookup to the GBIF occurrence data on preserved specimens (see: wcvp-gbif-processing). On a regional level (using distributions from WCVP), these will be compared to the total number of specimens available using numbers derived from metadata records in Index Herbariorum (see specimen-distribution). Bibliographic data (DOIs) will be used to flag if the first publication of each name is available open access by looking up the DOI in the Unpaywall dataset, and again WCVP will be used to assess if this varies regionally (see ipni-oa and two comparators: (i) OA takeup in gbif-literature and (ii) OA takeup in in the high-volume journal Phytotaxa). Depending on the state of the WCVP bibliographic data (cited as a reference supporting taxonomic status, ie the assertion of acceptance or synonymisation), it may be possible to make an assessment of the presence of relevant literature in the Biodiversity Heritage Library, and again, to see how this varies regionally, using WCVP distributions.

The paper production is also automated and is available in the paper repository, which also holds the complete submission made in the call for abstracts (in January 2022).
