Summary of changes since Version 1.01

  • Reorganized the protocol into a Quarto book structure to enable consistent rendering of a single, compiled PDF while preserving the web-based version of the protocol: – Beginning with this release, versioned snapshots of the IHerbSpec Protocol will be generated directly from the website source repository and archived on Zenodo. This change streamlines version control, reduces duplication, and ensures that archived releases correspond exactly to the content presented on the website at the time of release. – As part of this transition, the legacy IHerbSpec-protocol GitHub repository will be deprecated. It will remain available for reference and historical context, but future protocol updates, releases, and Zenodo archives will be managed exclusively through the main IHerbSpec website repository.

  • Introduced full title for the protocol as “Protocol for the Spectral Digitization of Herbarium Specimens”. The alternate title “IHerbSpec Protocol” is still used, but the full title is better for a citation that differentiates the author and title.

  • Updated citation: “IHerbSpec” as author along with full title above.

  • Added a Downloads section to the protocol, available in HTML, where users can easily access all tables. These tables are called from in protocol/tables.qmd and live in protocol/tables/.

  • Added this “Changes Since Last Version” section to document versioned updates transparently.

  • Added logo to homepage and icon to navbar.

  • Expanded Part 5 - Instrumentation and Materials Guidelines to include guidance on depositing spectral data and metadata in the IHerbSpec Dataverse.

  • Section 5.3.2: Added Fig. 5.1 and new text describing the spectral properties of background materials and their effects on measured leaf reflectance.
