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

Requirements to the scanning agency

Digitize backfiles and provide descriptive and structural metadata.

Metadata

All metadata of ZfN will be delivered in TEI format.
