ZooKeys recently published its special jubilee Issue No. 150 “e-Infrastructures for Data Publishing in Biodiversity Science“, comprised of 18 papers and two editorials. These cover a variety of reviews, essays and research articles, including a review on data issues in life sciences and three exemplar papers that demonstrate simultaneous data publishing through the GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) and Dryad. The issue also contains the first ever data paper generated from biodiversity metadata through the GBIF IPTPensoft workflow.

Most of the papers have been developed through the EU-funded project ViBRANT.
