Hi everybody,

This email is a gentle reminder of *tomorrow's webinar* with Karon Yook and Daniela Raciti from microPublication Biology https://www.micropublication.org/. We will start at *12 PM CT* as usual (find your local time here https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=AgBioData+Monthly+Webinar&iso=20220504T13&p1=43&ah=1) using the zoom link that you can see below.

We also want to invite you to *vote for two new members of the AgBioData steering committee.* The steering committee members are the driving force of the AgBioData consortium, and your opinion can help us shape our future direction. As a member of AgBioData, you should have received an email from Election Runners with the link to vote. *Please vote by May 15!*

I hope you'll be able to join us tomorrow.

Regards,

Abstract:

*Bridging the gap between data production and database curation through microPublications*

To solve a long-standing problem in data loss and accessibility, we developed a publishing platform, microPublication Biology, to bridge data publishing and database curation. Our journal accepts single experiment articles (microPublications) and embeds curation within the article submission/publishing workflow. microPublication Biology is an online, peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by the Caltech Library and discoverable in PubMed. Starting with articles focused on nematode biology, we continually expand to more organism communities, including Arabidopsis and most recently Dictyostelium, Maize, and Cotton. Our system is set up so that upon publication, atomized data is delivered directly to authoritative databases for each community (e.g., WormBase, Flybase, PomBase, TAIR), ensuring timely delivery to biological databases for deep data integration. We will give an overview of our journal and its integrated curation workflow and present our latest publishing metrics.
