Abstract
The combination of manual curation and the reliance on updates from submitters to the public sequence databases is currently inefficient and impedes the
comprehensive and timely release of records with new taxonomic names. This should be improved by making several steps during data release more efficient. This article
focuses on one such step by proposing a standard way for publications to flag papers with novel taxonomic information. As a result, the potential for automated searches
of publication aggregators are improved, as well as the accurate curation of taxonomic information.
Description
This paper resulted from discussions in Group 5
under the auspices of the International Commission
on the Taxonomy of Fungi (ICTF).
