Fig. 1 in European Journal of Taxonomy: a deeper look into a decade of data

Fig. 1. Publishing as part of the research life cycle. Once liberated, the data imprisoned in a single PDF immediately becomes an integral part of research and is reused and cited. Green figures illustrate the TreatmentBank workflow to liberate, FAIRize and disseminate data, and the Biodiversity Literature Repository, the long-term repository for the data. GBIF is one of the main reusers of the data, providing specific access to the material citations and making them FAIR. Finally, scientists reuse data from within GBIF for their research, for example new revisions, which then become incorporated in the liberation process, thus closing the research life cycle.
