Abstract
Examining Herbarium Specimen Citation: Developing a literature-based institutional impact measure.
Herbarium specimens are critical components of the research process - providing "what, where, when" evidence for species distributions and through type designation, providing the basis for un-ambiguous, standardised nomenclature facilitating the interpretation of scientific names. Specimen references are embedded within research article texts, by convention usually presented in a relatively...Nicolson, Nicky ; Paton, Alan ; Phillips, Sarah ; Tucker, Allan

Abstract
Integrating Collector and Author Roles Across Specimen and Publication Datasets.
This work builds on the outputs of a collector data-mining exercise applied to GBIF mobilised herbarium specimen metadata, which uses unsupervised learning (clustering) to identify collectors from minimal metadata associated with field collected specimens (the DarwinCore terms , and ). Here, we outline methods to integrate these data-mined collector entities...Nicolson, Nicky ; Paton, Alan ; Phillips, Sarah ; Tucker, Allan

Plant and fungal collections: Current status, future perspectives.
Societal Impact Statement Plant and fungal specimens provide the auditable evidence that a particular organism occurred at a particular place, and at a particular point in time, verifying past occurrence and distribution. They also document the aspects of human exploration and culture. Collectively specimens form a global asset with significant...
