[Taxacom] Links to literature pdf's in IPNI[Scanned]

[B.J.Tindall]

The Bacteriological Code registers/indexes all 
names - starting date 1980. There is a back 
archive of the registration/indexing journal 
(IJSEM) back to 1995 (more to go online soon) and 
with the advent of the journal DOI there are DOI 
links to all new names and new combinations 
recognised by the Code. In addition, the location 
of all types are documented (all major 
collections having searchable catalogue presence 
on the Internet) and there are dynamic links into 
associated databases containing sequence entries. 
More developments in the pipeline.
The IJSEM operates a fully free access policy 24 
months after publication and participates in both 
WHO and UN-FAO programmes that make the journal 
contents free to those countries that qualify.
