How does it change research? Access to repositories including full text machine actionable articles and data allows analyses of Millions of documents at once, as seen in BiodiversityPMC and BiotXplorer. Introduction Publications are published, apart from promoting the authors career, to disseminate knowledge. In classic models, the publication consists of the text itself plus very limited metadata. Finding publications is usually done by metadata, keyword and full text searches (e.g. using OpenAlex). This produces many false positive results. Semantically (enriched) publishing adds additional context to the paper and therefore makes it easier and more accurate to find publications in a given topic, taxon, location, etc. This makes existing approaches to literature review more accurate and additional approaches possible. 190 SCICOM_15.1_637 Publications should include semantic tagging and persistent unique identifiers, allowing the creation of FAIR data for treatments, material citations, gene sequences, and other named entities of value for biodiversity research. Taxonomic concept and taxon name usages should be presented in a format that can be automatically harvested by the Catalogue of Life, GBIF or other indexers to contribute building an authoritative list of the world’s species. Printed Publication Printed Publication with Metadata Scan-Based PDF with Metadata Text-based PDF with Metadata ASCI-Standard Structured XML with Metadata ASCI-XML with Semantic Enhancements and Metadata, FAIR data ASCI-XML with Semantic Enhancements, Attributes and Metadata Legacy Publications Prospective Publications ●Should be machine readable by being published in highly structured and semantically enriched XML. How to create semantically enhanced publications? Semantic enhanced publications can be produced during the publishing process using reference schemas and vocabularies (e.g. JATS, or Darwin Core) demonstrated by Pensoft and European Journal of Taxonomy) or conversion of legacy, printed or PDF publications.
