*UPDATE: GigaByte and GBIF webinar video added below. Deadline extended
until 30 March 2022 or until maximum of 15 accepted manuscripts is
reached---only a few slots remain!*

***Everything You* Always *Wanted to Know About* *Publishing
Biodiversity Data\* (\*But Were Afraid to Ask)***

Tune in to next week\'s *GigaByte* and GBIF webinar that uncovers the
details of the TDR (Special Programme for Research and Training in
Tropical Diseases, hosted at the World Health Organization) [sponsored
call for data papers describing datasets on vectors of human diseases
launched in Nov
2021](http://gigasciencejournal.com/blog/vectors-of-human-diseases-series/)
and is aimed at authors interested in submitting a manuscript to our
series. This webinar aims to answer any questions you may have on how to
put together this type of data publication, outline the criteria for
consideration and eligibility for a waived article processing fee, and
how to publish a dataset that meets GBIF\'s [data-quality
requirements](https://www.gbif.org/data-quality-requirements).

Presenters include Dmitry Schigel (Scientific Officer, GBIF Secretariat)
and Scott Edmunds (Chief Editor of *GigaByte*), and after a Q&A the
webinar will end with a few concluding words from Florence Fouque
(leader of TDR\'s unit on vectors).

Please submit your questions in advance to <health@gbif.org>, or tweet
questions using the hashtag
