The Biodiversity Literature Repository (BLR) is a biodiversity dedicated community created in November 11, 2013,[1] in Zenodo, the open science repository at CERN and part of the European project OpenAIRE.[2] The goal of BLR is to provide a long-term, stable, open repository that allows deposition of bio-taxonomic articles enhanced with custom metadata and links to data extracted from therein and deposited in BLR. As of April 25, 2021, this includes 94,443 taxonomic treatments[3] and 293,457 figures[4] from 48,993 articles[5] which are made findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable FAIR data. Most of the data is uploaded on a continuous basis by Plazi using its TreatmentBank[6] service based on their Plazi workflow,[7][8] and Pensoft Publishers using BLR as repository for data published in their journals. The largest single re-user of data is the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), using data from within 33,623 processed articles.[9]

Funding sources

The primary funding for the Biodiversity Literature Repository comes via the Arcadia Fund and in kind contribution by Plazi and Pensoft.
