General Description[edit]

Current journals are published by Verlag der Zeitschrift fuer Naturforschung as three corpora:

  • Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A – Physical Sciences,
  • Zeitschrift für Naturforschung B – Chemical Sciences,
  • Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C – Biosciences

The backfiles from 1946 to 2001 will be published as Open-Access publications in PubMan. The collection consists of about 180.000 pages.


Requirements to the MPDL[edit]

Make digitized back files available on the web as a browsing structure. It would be best if we could follow the browsing approach of the publisher, e.g. http://www.znaturforsch.com/aa/v57a/c57a.htm

The browsing structure is as follows:

Corpus (Journal) > Volume (Year) > Issue > Article

Originally, at the volume level the TOC of the volume is displayed, with article titles, authors and links to the corresponding PDFs: http://www.znaturforsch.com/aa/v57a/c57a.htm


Requirements to scanning agency[edit]

Digitize back files and provide descriptive and structural metadata on:

  • Journal
    • Title of Journal
    • Publisher
    • ISSN

    • Table of Contents
    • Number
    • Year
  • Issue

    • Year
    • Title
    • Table of contents

    • Source of Source (Volume etc.)
    • Categories/Keywords:
