Following on from BCoN's recent publication regarding specimen management plans (<span style="color: rgb(0, 111, 183);"><a href="https://doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biae032" id="OWA9abd6222-b6f4-6082-cb2c-7e570737a79f" class="OWAAutoLink" data-auth="Verified" data-linkindex="0" style="color: rgb(0, 111, 183); margin: 0px; text-align: left;">https://doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biae032</a></span>),
we realize that the next step would be to formalize some templates and examples of specimen management plans that can be used to inform the community on best practices and what to include in such plans. Although w do provide some very generic guidance as
to what should be included in such a plan, some examples from different realms, disciplines and research projects would be handy. As such, BCoN would be interested in seeing any specimen management plans or guidance that you may have generated already to
inform this process.</div>

Please forward any such materials you would be willing to share to me and we will collate these and make them available to the community in some form.</div>
