Biodiversity Data Journal (BDJ) is a unique journal that publishes data papers, which are short, peer-reviewed articles describing biodiversity data. BDJ aims to make data discoverable, accessible, and reusable by publishing them in a structured, machine-readable format. The journal covers all aspects of biodiversity, including taxonomy, ecology, biogeography, conservation, and evolution. BDJ is committed to the principles of open science and FAIR data.
