Zeitschrift Naturforschung

General Description

The publisher Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung (ZfN) publishes three corpora:

• Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A – Physical Sciences (1946 - 2001),
• Zeitschrift für Naturforschung B – Chemical Sciences (1946 - 2001),
• Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C – Biosciences (1973 - 2001)

In a shared project with the publisher, the backfiles from 1946 to 2001 will be digitized and published online as Open-Access publications in PubMan. The collection consists of about 180.000 pages.

Requirements to the MPDL

• Make digitized backfiles available on the web as a browsing structure. For this we follow the approach of the publisher http://www.znaturforsch.com/aa/v57a/c57a.htm .

Digitized backfiles will be ingested to coreservice as single articles and are browsable via PubMan

• The browsing structure is as follows:
  Corpus (Journal) > Volume (Year) > Issue > Article

TBD

Requirements to the scanning agency

Digitize backfiles and provide descriptive and structural metadata:

Metadata

All metadata of ZfN will be delivered in TEI format.
