Publication module

Introduction
The publication module can be used to automatically draft scholar manuscripts to be submitted for publication to peer-reviewed and open access Journals. When you enter data into Scratchpads we correctly structure them and annotate them according to internationally accepted Biodiversity data exchange standards. This enables us to easily generate manuscripts without you having to worry about how to format the manuscript and its components (references, tables, figures, specimens catalogs, taxon descriptions etc) according to the publisher's requirements.

This documentation page will guide you through the process of compiling a manuscript based on the data already in your Scratchpad and submitting it for review to the publisher.
