About the Science Review Sourcebook 2017
Each year, the GBIF Science Review highlights research uses of primary biodiversity data accessed
through the GBIF network global infrastructure.
Citations of GBIF-mediated data continue to grow and now average more than one substantive example
each day. In view of the corresponding growth in the number of pages of the Science Review, the narrative
highlights remain separated from the full annual bibliographic table of citations, which includes morethan 400 individual articles. This sourcebook is an electronic companion volume to the printed GBIF
Science Review 2017 (also available electronically) which includes summaries of selected examples ofresearch using GBIF as a data source, as well as analysis of trends and geographic location of researchteams.
Articles summarized in the Science Review are marked in bold in the following tables, and the symbol ‘ꇷ’indicates open-access articles that are available to all readers with or without a journal subscription.
