Fantastic - thanks Steve,

It would be great if we could keep a running list of papers to demonstrate the impact software tools like these are having. It makes a big impression on reviewers and will stand us well for further grants. When you get a page going can you send out the link to the list.

Best regards,

Vince

Hi Vince,
 
We know of two papers from Kew staff that are in press or in process
of being submitted that directly use GeoCAT for assessments. We are
adding new 'support' page to GeoCAT that gives the citation for the
the ZooKeys paper and the tool, so we should now be able to do a
better job of tracking who has used it. Probably we will have
something like this: http://viceroy.eeb.uconn.edu/EstimateSPages/PubsThatCiteEstS.htm
 
On the stats we have Google Analytics running. Below is overview since
Jan 2012. I can send you more detailed report if you need.

We don't have a page set up to track these yet, but so far there are two references for the GeoCAT, including the first known publication using GeoCAT as tool for Red List assessments:

Smith V, Penev L (2011) Collaborative electronic infrastructures to accelerate taxonomic research. ZooKeys 150: 1-3. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.150.2458

Thanks Aaron, hopefully many more to come!

Please do cite the tool if you use it for any publications that include red list assessments.

thanks

Steve
