FAIRsharing record for: Global Biodiversity Information Facility - US Integrated Publishing Toolkit

This FAIRsharing record describes: The US node to GBIF represents an integral part of the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) activities to collect, organize and share biological information. As part of that role USGS has identified three primary functions: 1) Assist the US biodiversity community with understanding biological data management and standards that promote data sharing, reuse, and reproducibility (FAIR). 2)Promote biodiversity data mobilization in the US by educating the US community on the use of data standards and provide a pathway for data providers to make their data accessible via the US Node Integrated Publishing Toolkit. 3) Encouraging the reuse of the available data to support biodiversity-related science, decision-making for sustainable development, species protections and conservation efforts, and risk analyses.
