Scratchpads Virtual Research Environments for taxonomic and biodiversity related data

What are Scratchpads? Hosted websites for biodiversity data Virtual research & publication platform Completely open access & open source Modular & flexible

Scratchpad usage metrics (March 2014) 662 Scratchpad Communities by 7,089 active registered users covering 148,926 taxa in 624,368 pages. In total more than 1,500,000 visitors 72,000 visitors/month Per month unique visitors to Scratchpads sites

Scratchpads Funding & Sustainability ViBRANT Virtual Biodiversity Research & & Other grants in preparation

Support and Development Core-funded development and support Smaller projects and developments undertaken Larger projects, major collaborations and system integration require funding or developer support Collaboration between Oxford, Kew and NHM Monocot data portal using data from 30+ Scratchpads & other sites

Conservation ProjectsRegionsSocieties Taxa (Classifications, taxon profiles, specimens, literature, images, maps, phenotypic, genotypic & morphometric datasets, keys, phylogenies) Examples of use:

NHM Scratchpad Usage 110+ users 80+ Sites Used for research and project management

Feature List Biological classification management Taxon Pages Bibliography Specimen/Occurrence data Media support Basic webpages

Feature List Communication tools (forums, blogs, newsletters) External services (EOL, GBIF, IUCN and more) Publication module (formal journal publication) Biological interactions Biographies Character matrix editor (beta)
