My paper "Surfacing the deep data of taxonomy" (based on a presentation I gave in 2011) has appeared in print as part to a special issue of Zookeys : The manuscript was written shortly after the talk, but as is the nature of edited volumes it's taken a while to appear. My tweet about the paper sparked some interesting comments from David Shorthouse.

One consequence of having a database of literature with external identifiers such as DOIs is that we can plug into a bunch of external services to get additional information about a reference. For example, altmetric can take a DOI and display some article level metrics. As an experiment I've added code for altmetric badges to the web page in BioNames that displays publications.
