First database-derived 'data paper' published in journal

"The first-ever peer-reviewed paper derived directly from a biodiversity metadata document has been published in the open-access ZooKeys journal. The description of more than 2,400 bird records from northeast India, spanning almost a century, is the outcome of a new 'Data Paper' workflow pioneered by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and Pensoft publishers.
