<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Question for you: how do you record whether a specimen has been cited in the literature, and what do you consider a citation of a specimen to be?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At OSUM, I’ve been taking a very liberal approach to specimen citations – that is, even if the specimen is not cited by number in the body of a text, if data from that occurrence/record was used in a paper, the specimen record has the citation
added, with info on the page, graph, or plate where the specimen is used/figured/, if possible. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I store all this info in one field, a standardized citation string that includes the doi and the page and figure number where applicable. For papers in BHL or other sites with stable URLs, I include the link to the page in the paper itself.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m curious how in-depth others on this list go when recording citation data for specimens. My goal is ‘extending the specimens’ for users of the collection, and also tracking citations for impact reasons.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nate</p>
