4 | **User:** How I can register to PhycoBank? |
||
5 | 5 | Wolf-Henning Kusber | **PhycoBank:** Simply write an e-mail to curation@phycobank.org. Please enter user name and password only at the user interface for data entry at: http://api.phycobank.org/phycobank/app/registration#!regStart |

7 | 5 | Wolf-Henning Kusber | **User:** Why "Registration" and "PasswordRecovery" at: http://api.phycobank.org/phycobank/app/registration#!regStart is not enabled in my browser? |
8 | **PhycoBank:** Because this functionality is being developed and will be available later in 2020. Until then: see above. |
||
9 | |||
10 | 1 | Andreas Kohlbecker | **User:** I want to describe a new species. When it should be registered? |
11 | **PhycoBank:** Start a registration once your manuscript has been submitted. |
||
12 | 4 | Wolf-Henning Kusber | |
13 | 5 | Wolf-Henning Kusber | **User:** The reference is not complete as long as it is not published. What shall I do? |
14 | **PhycoBank:** Enter the tentative reference, reference and reference details can be adjusted later. If you change title, authors, journal within the review- or proofreading, please correct the reference entry. Do not enter a new reference to prevent duplicates. |
||
15 | 4 | Wolf-Henning Kusber | |
16 | **User:** Is it possible to get an identifier for a new taxon, I want to describe? |
||
17 | **PhycoBank:** To avoid mistakes, a unique identifier is only generated once a registration is saved within the PhycoBank database. |
||
18 | |||
19 | **User:** Why PhycoBank uses http-links as identifiers? Is this wise as databases might change their URLs after some years? |
||
20 | **PhycoBank:** PhycoBank uses stable identifers for nomenclatural acts. Advantages are the linkage to the database entry and a good usability, in contrast to UUIDs that are used in the background. |
||
21 | |||
22 | **User:** Shall I cite the identifier in my paper? |
||
23 | **PhycoBank:** Yes please; this ensures a cross-link between an electronic publication and PhycoBank (if the doi has been entered in PhycoBank) |
||
24 | |||
25 | **User:** I am done with the data entry, what is the next step? |
||
26 | **PhycoBank:** If you are ready with data entry, hand over the dataset to the curation, PhycoBank will finalise the record according to the published paper and make it visible on PhycoBank. |
