Collections

The aim of the collection is to support the open publication of DNA barcoding data of the Bulgarian biota. The articles would cover a range of approaches including:

(I) publishing of reference collections for specific taxonomic groups of animals, plants, fungi, and unicellular organisms from particular locations and habitats, or across large geographical regions in Bulgaria;

(II) application of new and innovative methods for molecular research, which are showcased by case studies in Bulgaria.

A mandatory requirement for publication is that all data are made publicly available in the Barcode of Life Data System or GenBank for high-throughput sequencing data. In addition, manuscripts will be evaluated on the basis of their overall quality and the volume of data submitted. Larger datasets and highly collaborative initiatives across several teams will be considered with priority. The first 5 manuscripts submitted to the collection will be published free of charge, if accepted, while all others will benefit from a 15% discount. More details about the submission process can be found here.
