Here, we present the B iodiversity D ata C leaning ( bdc ), an R package to address quality issues and improve the fitness-for-use of biodiversity datasets. bdc contains functions to harmonize and integrate data from different sources following common standards and protocols, and implements various tests and tools to flag, document, clean, and correct taxonomic, spatial, and temporal data. Compared to other available R packages, the main strengths of the bdc package are that it brings together available tools – and a series of new ones – to assess the quality of different dimensions of biodiversity data into a single and flexible toolkit. The functions can be applied to a multitude of taxonomic groups, datasets (including regional or local repositories), countries, or worldwide. Structure of bdc The bdc toolkit is organized in thematic modules related to different biodiversity dimensions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ :warning: The modules illustrated, and functions within, were linked to form a proposed reproducible workflow (see vignettes ). However, all functions can also be executed independently . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.
