Bat Literature Project (BatLit, https://batlit.org) v0.10 hash://md5/0157e8ec3f1f8eb877e7b6cd6fde26bc - Reference List, Metadata, and Associated Zenodo Deposits

The Bat Literature Project (BatLit) facilitates discovery of scientific literature on bats (Chiroptera). This data publication contains versioned Zotero metadata and provenance of the batlit literature (Sherman et al. 2024) records, as tracked by Preston (a biodiversity data tracker, Elliott et al. 2020,2023) using the following workflow: ZOTERO_TOKEN=[SECRET]\ preston track\ --algo md5\ https://www.zotero.org/groups/5435545/bat_literature_project in which ZOTERO_TOKEN is an API token with sufficient access to Zotero's Bat Literature Project group. Note that, for this publication, the pdf content was not included for copyright reasons. However, secure links (i.e. md5 content hashes) to these PDFs are embedded in the archives. The result is a version corpus of batlit metadata, and their origins, packaged in tar.gz and zip archives. BatLit Literature Record Index Literature records can be extracted from this corpus in various ways. As an example, we show a reference list of a recent version of the BatLit Corpus, both of which are provided in included batlit metadata archives (i.e., data.zip, data.tar.gz). For ease of processing, we’ve included a sample of 3 records in the table below, as well as files in tsv/csv formats include 100 records and all records. filenames description data.zip / .tar.gz batlit metadata archive prov.nq / bom.nq batlit metadata bill of material refs-100.tsv / .csv author/date/title/journal of first 100 records refs.tsv / .csv / .ris author/date/title/journal of all records data-on-zenodo.zip / .tar.gz archive of associations of batlit metadata to Zenodo record ids refs-on-zenodo-100.tsv / .csv author/date/title/journal/zenodo doi of first 100 records refs-on-zenodo.tsv / .csv author/date/title/journal/zenodo doi of first 100 records First 3 records shown below as an example, and was generated by running: cat refs.csv\ | head -4\ | mlr --icsv --oxtab cat Note that id points to the records as seen on Zotero, attachment points to the attachment records as seen on Zotero, attachmentId is the signature/hash of the associated pdf, corpusId is the signature/hash of the applicable BatLit version (see version table below). authors Vora | Hannah | Lieberman | Vale | Plowright | Bernsteindate 2022-05title Want to prevent pandemics?
