Scoring Rubric
Reviewer's name:
Collection Improvement (max. 120 points)
-
Facilitating access to the physical collections by digitization (e.g., data entry, setting up database structure with an outline of the platform to be used, purchasing equipment, and imaging specimens) – up to 30 points.
-
Enhancing physical collections by improving the conservation status of specimens in the herbarium (e.g., better folders, protecting covers, mounting paper, labeling, etc.) – up to 30 points.
-
Curating specimens (e.g., updating families, species identification, identifying types) – up to 20 points.
-
Increasing our understanding of the flora or funga by making new herbarium specimens available, such as processing of backlog or collecting and mounting of new specimens from understudied sites – up to 20 points.
-
Securing collections by distribution of duplicates (or orphan collections) to other regional or international herbaria or shipping endangered collections to another herbarium – up to 20 points.
This proposal scores:
/120
Methods & Funding (max. 40 points)
-
Match between the proposed budget and methods for the aims described – up to 10 points.
-
Perceived need, the extent to which the project will benefit from IAPT funding: e.g., due to active floristic work or contribution to poorly collected sites, due to threatened conditions of collections, and for the degree of involvement of others (outreach and education). We give more points for herbaria in low- and middle-income countries – up to 20 points.
-
Sharing duplicate specimens with other herbaria – up to 10 points.
This proposal scores:
/40
Broader Impacts (max. 40 points)
-
Degree of regional importance of the collection or the taxonomic importance of the targeted collection – up to 10 points.
-
The project will yield durable benefits (specimens, digitized metadata, databases, websites) – up to 15 points.
-
The project involves outreach/mentoring and broad dissemination – up to 15 points.

Plan:
Species identification of herbarium specimens, their mounting. Restoration of herbarium specimens already in the collection.
Entering data from the labels of herbarium specimens into the information and analytical system posted on the geographic information portal.
Information about the herbarium specimen will contain the following information: species name according to IPNI (https://www.ipni.org), location, habitat, date of collection and identification, leg., det., geographic coordinates and notes.
Digitization of herbarium specimens is carried out using a scanner sample based on IRK Herbarium of the Siberian Institute of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Irkutsk, Russia, with a resolution of 600 dpi. Received digital copies of herbarium specimens are uploaded to the corresponding record in the information-analytical system.
When placed in permanent storage, herbarium specimens are arranged in accordance with modern phylogenetic systems of the plant world: Polypodiophyta according to PPG (Christenhusz & al., 2011), Gymnospermae according to Christenhusz & al. (2011) and angiosperms in accordance with APG IV (Byng & al. 2016).
Upon completion of the work, digital copies of herbarium specimens with metadata will be uploaded to GBIF, so that researchers from all over the world have the opportunity to study the diversity of flora in the protected areas of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lake Baikal.
