Inclusion of Digital Citizenship Skills in the Modified Educational Syllabi at Ha’il University: A Study in Teachers’ Perspective

In the wake of Covid-19 pandemic and the educational scenario shifting towards online teaching, universities brought about several modifications in their courses to accommodate online dissemination. These changes inspired learners and teachers to acquire the traits of digital citizenship (DC) skills. The present study investigates the perspectives of teaching staff at Ha’il University, Saudi Arabia, on the degree of inclusion of digital citizenship skills in the modified educational syllabi. In a mixed methods study, teachers' perspectives on the topic were collected from 227 participants. The data were collected through a survey questionnaire and statistically analysed using SPSS. To check the differences across variables, the following variables were used: academic degree, professional experience, and academic track. The obtained results showed that the teaching staff displayed a medium degree of satisfaction with the inclusion of DC skills in the educational syllabi. No significant differences between the means of responses of the study sample were observed (p> 0.05). The study findings have implications for instructors and learners. The researchers recommend further research in the area, and it is essential that training courses are conducted to increase the awareness of DC skills to develop digital content and to maximize the use of ICT tools especially in the light of the covid-19.

PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM BAGI KORBAN CYBERCRIME PENYEBARAN DATA PRIBADI SECARA ONLINE

The current development of information technology has certainly had a huge influence on social life in Indonesia. With such rapid progress in the field of technology and information, it is like a double-edged sword because apart from having a positive impact, it can also have a negative impact, one of which is the emergence of cybercrime online dissemination of personal data. The research method used is a normative juridical research method, while technical data analysis uses a statutory approach and a case approach, as well as using legal protection theory and punishment theory. The problem formulation taken is how to regulate cybercrime victims disseminating personal data online in Indonesia and what legal protection there is for cybercrime victims disseminating personal data online in Indonesia. The research results showed that legal protection for cybercrime victims of online dissemination of personal data in Indonesia has been regulated based on Law no. 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE Law), whose criminal sanctions prioritize punishment for the perpetrator only to provide a deterrent effect, and have not provided a direct impact or benefit for the victim. And in order to provide human rights protection for cybercrime victims of online distribution of personal data in Indonesia, apart from being subject to imprisonment and/or fines, perpetrators may also be subject to additional penalties in the form of confiscation of profits and/or assets obtained or proceeds from criminal acts. , and payment of compensation for victims, such as additional criminal sanctions for confiscation of profits and/or assets obtained or proceeds from criminal acts and payment of compensation for victims. Thus, to realize the Integrated Criminal Justice System, law enforcers not only impose prison sanctions and/or fines on perpetrators, but can also impose additional criminal sanctions which can have a direct impact or benefit for victims. And the House of Representatives and the President need to revise the ITE Law, especially by adding additional criminal provisions in the form of confiscation of profits and/or assets obtained or proceeds from criminal acts and payment of compensation. So that this law can really provide better legal protection and can also be felt directly by victims of cybercrime spreading personal data online in Indonesia

Dialectics of perception and imagination: Embodied politics of atmosphere in Xiqiao Road, Nanjing

In the social media era, scholars tend to reduce the online digital images of cities to readable visual-centric texts dominated by ideologies such as platform capitalism and symbolic consumerism, treating symbols and affects as antagonistic. This study attempts to deconstruct this dichotomy and explain the visual-centric paradigm in digital images from the perspective of affective atmospheres based on an ethnography of 20 participants on Nanjing's Xiqiao Road. Built on atmosphere theory and material imagination theory, we suggest that an embodied politics of atmosphere is constituted by perception and imagination. Perceptions foster a holistic understanding of place among participants through peripheral visions, which is potentially consistent with the logic of online dissemination of digital images. In contrast, material imagination represents the creative pole of the body and establishes a new surface aesthetics of digital images. Faced with visual-centric notions of place in contemporary digital images, illustrating the embodied politics of the affective atmosphere can help motivate people to transcend existing paradigms and experience place through a more creative vision.

Living in a Digital World: Different Reflection on the Online Taoism Spreading

With the rise of the Internet and social media, Taoism’s ideas, symbols and other information have gradually come into the public’s view through Internet platforms. However, Taoist culture, as an excellent traditional Chinese culture, faces challenges and uncertainties when adapting to the new cultural communication methods in the digital age. In order to comprehensively understand the current status of Taoist culture’s online communication in the digital age and to promote the modernization of traditional Taoist culture, this study uses questionnaires and interviews to collect the views of two groups, Taoist priests and the general public, on online Taoist culture communication. The study found that although the Internet has facilitated the popularization of Taoist culture, its dissemination is relatively shallow and suffers from fragmentation of information and shallow understanding. Regarding online communication channels, Taoist priests support the integration of Taoist culture with digital society with an open attitude. However, the public wants to improve the accuracy and systematization of online communication. The study suggests that the participation of Taoist officials should be strengthened, and that the government and society should respect the objective laws of Taoist cultural development and reduce intervention to promote the transmission and development of Taoist culture in the digital age. This study helps to clarify the current situation of Taoist thought’s online dissemination and provides inspiration for authorities to promote the development of excellent traditional Chinese culture.

The Influence of Online Information Dissemination on Tourism Intentions: A Study of China’s Internet celebrity Cities

This study explores the pathways through which online information dissemination impacts tourism intentions in China’s internet celebrity cities. Through quantitative analysis, the study reveals how online information dissemination influences tourist attitudes and transforms them into tourism consumption intentions by enhancing city awareness, increasing information trustworthiness, and boosting online attention. The results indicate that city awareness, information trustworthiness, and online attention significantly and positively impact tourist attitudes, which in turn further strengthens consumption intentions. The study also finds that attitudes play a significant mediating role between these factors and consumption intentions. The research employs a questionnaire survey, along with reliability and validity analysis, regression analysis, and mediation effect analysis to ensure scientific and reliable results. The findings provide empirical evidence for city managers and tourism practitioners on how to enhance city tourism attractiveness through online dissemination, while also pointing out new directions for future research, with significant practical implications.

25 Genomic medicine in paediatric care for neurodevelopmental disorders: An assessment of practices, attitudes and education needs of Ontario paediatricians

Abstract Background Non-geneticist healthcare professionals are increasingly responsible for delivering genetics-informed care to individuals and their families affected by neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Developing education tools to support their continuing education will require an understanding of physicians’ current approaches, attitudes and desired resources regarding genomic medicine, in the context of their specialty and healthcare system. Objectives Our goal was to assess paediatricians’ current practices, attitudes, and education needs regarding the provision of genomic medicine to individuals with NDDs in Ontario. Design/Methods We distributed an anonymous electronic questionnaire between April 2023 and June 2023 using online dissemination strategies. Inclusion criteria were paediatricians who self-identify as providing care to patients with NDDs. A multi-disciplinary team of genetic and non-genetic experts and a family partner developed the questionnaire. It had four sections: 1) demographic and clinical practice information, 2) experience with providing genomic medicine, 3) attitudes about providing genomic medicine, 4) education needs. Results One hundred and thirty paediatricians completed the questionnaire (estimated response rate of 10%, based on estimated 1300 Ontario paediatricians with varied practices). General paediatricians comprised 76% of responders; 50% of responders practiced outside a large urban centre. In terms of experience with genomic medicine: 58% of responders always/often discuss genetic testing options with families. Barriers to ordering genetic testing included lack of knowledge, confidence, access to lab services and time. Rates of ordering genetic testing varied by NDD and genetic test. Some paediatricians endorsed outdated testing practices (e.g., 9% order karyotype for patients with autism). Paediatricians also order genetic tests outside of standard clinical guidelines (e.g., 38% order a genetic test for patients with isolated language delay). In terms of attitudes regarding genomic medicine: majority believe that it is important to become educated about delivering genetic services to patients with NDDs. Over 60% strongly agree/agree that a genetic diagnosis may offer improved health management and research access, and about 50% strongly agree/agree that it may offer improved access to medical services and positive psychological impact for families. Commonest barriers to integrating genomic medicine in paediatric care were concerns about unanticipated genetic results, lack of local resources/logistical challenges, and competing psychosocial considerations. In terms of genetic education needs: paediatricians expressed strongest interest in learning about genetic testing (e.g. utility, interpretation, management) and advances in genomic technologies. Conclusion Ontario paediatricians integrate aspects of genomic medicine in the care of individuals with NDDs, though sometimes outside of clinically recommended contexts. They desire more support in optimizing this integration as genomic technologies and information evolve. Our study provides valuable information to guide the creation of genetic education tools to enhance collaborative healthcare for children and youth with NDDs.

Transforming the Patient-Provider Relationship Through Digitalized Peer Support in Japan

ABSTRACT The recent explosion in online dissemination of health-related information, and its availability to more and more people around the world, has led to a situation in which both healthcare providers and patients are accepting new roles. This paper examines the transformations toward new roles for healthcare professionals and patients, with a focus on Japan, based on the assumption that one of the driving forces accelerating these changes may be the digitalization of patient peer support. The methods used in this study were: 1) questionnaires and interviews with patients and healthcare providers asking about their participation in peer support and the effectiveness of its implementation; and 2) observations, questionnaires, and interviews with three patient groups about the experience of digitalizing peer support (via implementation of peer support in a virtual reality space). Analysis of the data showed that peer support by patient groups has both challenges and benefits, and that peer support in virtual spaces has certain positive effects. The empowerment of patients through digitalized peer support is transforming the relationship between healthcare providers and patients, changing it from a traditional asymmetrical relationship (in which the healthcare professionals are in a dominant position) to a cooperative relationship on a more equal footing.

Open access publications drive few visits from Google Search results to institutional repositories

AbstractGiven the importance of Google Search in generating visits to institutional repositories (IR), a lack of visibility in search engine results pages can hinder the possibility of their publications being found, read, downloaded, and, eventually, cited. To address this, institutions need to evaluate the visibility of their repositories to determine what actions might be implemented to enhance them. However, measuring the search engine optimization (SEO) visibility of IRs requires a highly accurate, technically feasible method. This study constitutes the first attempt to design such a method, specifically applied here to measuring the IR visibility of Spain’s national university system in Google Search based on a set of SEO-based metrics derived from the Ubersuggest SEO tool. A comprehensive dataset spanning three months and comprising 217,589 bibliographic records and 316,899 organic keywords is used as a baseline. Our findings show that many records deposited in these repositories are not ranked among the top positions in Google Search results, and that the most visible records are mainly academic works (theses and dissertations) written in Spanish in the Humanities and Social Sciences. However, most visits are generated by a small number of records. All in all, our results call into question the role played by IRs in attracting readers via Google Search to the institutions’ scientific heritage and serve to underscore the prevailing emphasis within IRs on preservation as opposed to online dissemination. Potential improvements might be achieved using enhanced metadata schemes and normalized description practices, as well as by adopting other actionable insights that can strengthen the online visibility of IRs. This study increases understanding of the role played by web indicators in assessing the web-based impact of research outputs deposited in IRs, and should be of particular interest for a range of stakeholders, including open access and open science advocates, research agencies, library practitioners, repository developers, and website administrators.

Mapping interpretations of the law in online content moderation in Germany

Content moderation is a vital condition that online platforms must facilitate, according to the law, to create suitable online environments for their users. By the law, we mean national or European laws that require the removal of content by online platforms, such as EU Regulation 2021/784, which addresses the dissemination of terrorist content online. Content moderation required by these national or European laws, summarised here as ‘the law’, is different from the moderation of pieces of content that is not directly required by law but instead is conducted voluntarily by the platforms. New regulatory requests create an additional layer of complexity of legal grounds for the moderation of content and are relevant to platforms’ daily decisions. The decisions made are either grounded in reasons stemming from different sources of law, such as international or national provisions, or can be based on contractual grounds, such as the platform's Terms of Service and Community Standards. However, how to empirically measure these essential aspects of content moderation remains unclear. Therefore, we ask the following research question: How do online platforms interpret the law when they moderate online content?To understand this complex interplay and empirically test the quality of a platform's content moderation claims, this article develops a methodology that facilitates empirical evidence of the individual decisions taken per piece of content while highlighting the subjective element of content classification by human moderators. We then apply this methodology to a single empirical case, an anonymous medium-sized German platform that provided us access to their content moderation decisions. With more knowledge of how platforms interpret the law, we can better understand the complex nature of content moderation, its regulation and compliance practices, and to what degree legal moderation might differ from moderation due to contractual reasons in dimensions such as the need for context, information, and time.Our results show considerable divergence between the platform's interpretation of the law and ours. We believe that a significant number of platform legal interpretations are incorrect due to divergent interpretations of the law and that platforms are removing legal content that they falsely believe to be illegal (‘overblocking’) while simultaneously not moderating illegal content (‘underblocking’). In conclusion, we provide recommendations for content moderation system design that takes (legal) human content moderation into account and creates new methodological ways to test its quality and effect on speech in online platforms.

Bibliometric Analysis of Character Education in Senior High School Indonesian Textbooks Based on the Merdeka Curriculum

This study aims to understand the publication trend and research contribution related to character education in Indonesian high school textbooks based on the Merdeka Curriculum from 2015 to 2024. Character education is crucial for student development, and textbooks play a central role. Using bibliometric analysis, the study identified 428 publications from Google Scholar and Scopus, including journal articles, proceedings, reviews, and books. Journal articles dominated with 363 publications, followed by 30 proceedings, 32 books, and three reviews. The study focused on the number of publications and the issues underlying the keyword emergence. While 2023 had the highest number of publications (75), 2018 saw the highest citations (890) and h-index (14), indicating significant influence. The highly cited study "Strategy and Implementation of Character Education in Senior High Schools and Vocational High Schools" had 135 citations. Keyword analysis using VOSviewer revealed that "Indonesian textbook" was the most popular topic, particularly concerning gender representation and basic education. Despite increased productivity, recent publications need higher impact, achievable through improved research quality, appropriate journal selection, online dissemination, collaboration, and scientific community engagement. The focus on gender representation and basic education should be sharpened for inclusive teaching materials and to instill positive values early in Indonesian education. This study provides valuable insights and direction for future research and practice in character education within the Independent Curriculum framework.

Research on Chinese Legal Regulation of Internet Violence in the Internet Era

The rapid development of network and communication technology has given rise to an open information society with free dissemination of information. The development of the Internet has provided a realistic possibility for the realization of the free dissemination of information, but at the same time, the vigorous development of the Internet and the application of various technical means have also posed challenges to China's traditional social governance. In recent years, various online chaos has emerged in Chinese society, such as the implementation of online human flesh searches, the creation and dissemination of online rumors, and the launch of online verbal abuse. This not only seriously infringes on the personal rights and interests of citizens, disrupts online order, but also has many negative effects on creating a harmonious and orderly social environment. Therefore, it is imperative for China to rely on legal means to govern online violence.

SP1.5 - PRESS survey: PREvention of surgical site infection—a global pan-specialty survey of practice

Abstract Aims This survey aimed to establish current global practice across surgical subspecialties in the prevention of surgical site infection (SSI). Methodology A cross-sectional survey was formulated following a published protocol, aligning with established global guidelines for SSI prevention. A panel of experts provided guidance during iterative rounds of internal validation, incorporating consensus-based modifications. Prior to online dissemination via QualtricsXM link and QR code through international surgical societies, the survey underwent final external validation. Recruitment strategies were through international societies, snowballing and social media. Findings There were 1232 responses from 97 countries, with 698(56.7%) participants completing all inquiries. Responses were primarily provided by consultants or equivalent (766,75.2%), spanning all ten Royal College of Surgeons-recognised subspecialties. A significant majority (786/889,88.4%) routinely employs clinical examination for SSI diagnosis, while one-third (305/889,34.3%) never use the CDC criteria. Regarding surgical field preparation, less than half regularly use alcoholic povidone-iodine (339/778,43.6%) or chlorhexidine gluconate (370/778,47.6%). However, approximately one-third often or always use aqueous (478/1556,30.7%) or alcoholic (454/1556,29.2%) solutions for hand scrub. Surgeons exhibit a higher likelihood of changing gloves (614/734,83.7%) than instruments (513/734,69.9%) to facilitate clean skin closure. Most UK surgeons (181/206,87.9%) express equipoise in randomising patients for interventions in a potential platform trial evaluating SSI prevention. Conclusions Significant diversity characterizes global and subspecialty-specific practices in various SSI prevention measures, attributable to conflicting guidance and limited evidentiary support for recommendations. Encouragingly, a substantial number of surgeons express readiness to contribute to a robust evidence base through participation in potential platform trials for SSI prevention.

SP1.4 - PRESS survey: PREvention of surgical site infection—a global pan-specialty survey of prophylactic practices

Abstract Aims This survey aimed to establish current global practice across surgical subspecialties in the prevention of surgical site infection (SSI) using prophylactic measures. Methodology A cross-sectional survey was formulated following a published protocol, aligning with established guidelines for SSI prevention. A panel of experts provided guidance during iterative rounds of internal validation, incorporating consensus-based modifications. Prior to online dissemination via QualtricsXM link and QR code through international surgical societies, the survey underwent external validation. Recruitment strategies were through international societies, snowballing and social media. Results There were 1232 responses from 97 countries, with 698(56.7%) participants completing all inquiries. Responses were primarily provided by consultants or equivalent (766,75.2%), spanning all ten Royal College of Surgeons-recognised subspecialties. Almost all surgeons (734/779,94.2%) give pre-operative antibiotic prophylaxis at or within one hour of incision. Nutritional assessments do not routinely occur, with less than half (314/734,42.8%) performed often or always. Intraoperatively, normothermia is often or always maintained with standard blankets (389/734,53.0%) and forced air warming (435/734,59.3%) and less frequently with warmed fluids (277/734,37.7%) and heated mattresses (176/734,24.0%). Most surgeons (615/734,83.8%) would use non-iodinated drapes, whereas iodinated are used less frequently (472/734,64.3%). Triclosan coated sutures are never used by almost half of all surgeons (365/734,49.7%). Most surgeons (528/734,71.9%) use a simple wound dressing after skin closure. Conclusions Most prophylactic measures for SSI prevention display considerable variation in practice. Surgeons agree upon pre-operative antibiotic timing, in line with strong evidence and guidance. Other measures, such as antimicrobial sutures which have strong NICE recommendations, are used invariably.

Navigating hate speech and content moderation under the DSA: insights from ECtHR case law

ABSTRACT The dissemination of hate speech online necessitates forceful content moderation to protect individuals and democratic values, without undue infringement of freedom of expression and the right to access information. In Europe, recent regulatory measures like the Digital Services Act (DSA) address the amplification of harmful content on social media, and place responsibilities on Very Large Online Platforms to counter societal risks, such as hate speech. The DSA mandates that platforms balance commercial interests with protecting user rights and safety, necessitating nuanced moderation strategies. However, both automated and human moderation face challenges in accurately identifying and countering hate speech. The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and its interpretation by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) provide essential guidance for navigating how to counter hate speech and also protect freedom of expression. This article aims to contribute to the understanding the emerging landscape of platform regulation and how the demands in the DSA can be better understood and operationalized regarding moderation of hate speech, in light of ECtHR case law.

Exploring medical and dental practitioner perspectives and developing a knowledge attitude and practice (KAP) evaluation tool for the common risk factor approach in managing non-communicable and periodontal diseases

BackgroundThe Common Risk Factor Approach (CRFA) is one of the methods to achieve medical-dental integration. CRFA addresses shared risk factors among major Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs). This study aimed to explore the perspectives of dental and medical practitioners concerning CRFA for managing NCDs and periodontal diseases and to create and validate a tool to evaluate the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) of medical and dental practitioners in relation to utilization of CRFA for management of NCDs and Periodontal diseases.MethodsThis research employed a concurrent mixed-method model and was carried out from January 2021 to February 2022, focusing on medical and dental practitioners in South India. In the qualitative phase, online interviews were conducted with dental and medical practitioners, recorded, and transcribed. Thematic analysis was applied after achieving data saturation. In the quantitative phase, a KAP questionnaire was developed. The sample size was determined by using the G power statistical power analysis program. A sample size of 220 in each group (dentists and medical practitioners) was estimated. Systematic random sampling was used to recruit the potential participants. The data obtained through the online dissemination of KAP tool was analysed and scores were standardized to categorize the KAP.ResultsQualitative thematic analysis identified four major themes: understanding of common risk factors, risk factor reduction and disease burden, integrating CRFA into clinical practice, and barriers to CRFA. In addition, thematic analysis revealed seventeen subthemes. For the quantitative phase, standardization was applied to a 14-item KAP questionnaire for medical practitioners and a 19-item KAP questionnaire for dental practitioners. The total KAP score for medical practitioners in the study was 21.84 ± 2.87, while dental practitioners scored 22.82 ± 3.21, which indicated a high level of KAP regarding CRFA. Meta integration of qualitative and quantitative data identified eight overarching themes: four were concordant, three were discordant, and one theme provided the explanatory component.ConclusionThe study’s structured, validated questionnaire showed that both medical and dental professionals had a high knowledge of CRFA. However, they were not appreciably aware of the risk factors that are shared between NCDs and periodontal disease. Both groups were interested in the idea of using CRFA in integrated medical and dental care.

A HOLISTIC INQUIRY INTO RISK COMMUNICATION DYNAMICS: YOUTH-LED INITIATIVES AND SOCIETAL ENGAGEMENT IN SURABAYA'S RURAL LANDSCAPES

The overarching aim of this community service program is to contribute significantly to the understanding of risk communication dynamics and its profound implications within broader societal contexts. Beyond mere dissemination of information, this initiative serves as a comprehensive study, delving into the intricate web of societal attitudes, perceptions, and the intricate pathways through which information traverses within communities. Central to this endeavor is the creation of educational videos geared towards enhancing community awareness, particularly targeting the youth in rural village settings. These videos, crafted by local youth in Surabaya, encapsulate not only informative content but also culturally nuanced messaging that resonates deeply with the intended audience. Methodologically, the program adopts a multifaceted approach. Firstly, it involves the online dissemination of educational materials, strategically targeting bustling areas in Surabaya, notably Petemon and Kaliasin. Secondly, it encompasses Focus Group Discussions with children, providing invaluable insights into their utilization of smartphone cameras and their perceptions of media content. Lastly, the program includes a hands-on video workshop, empowering children to actively participate in the creation of visual narratives, thereby fostering a sense of ownership and agency. The duration of the research spanned a comprehensive 15-day period, allowing for in-depth exploration and analysis of community dynamics and perceptions. The outcomes of these community engagement activities unveil nuanced layers of perception and understanding regarding COVID-19 prevention programs, particularly the government's vaccination efforts. Notably, there emerges a preference for peer-driven engagement, with individuals opting to involve those within their immediate social circles. Within this communal framework, the created videos serve as powerful tools, employing a blend of straightforward visual storytelling and everyday language to effectively communicate crucial messages, thereby fostering a sense of collective responsibility and empowerment within the community.

Anything goes for participant, patient and public involvement in youth mental health research

AbstractBackgroundParticipant and Public Involvement in youth mental health research aims at making research more responsive to the needs of youth struggling with mental health issues, their parents, and mental health professionals and other stakeholders. Do characteristics of Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in youth mental health research align with transparency and replication prerequisites as necessary conditions for translation? Relatedly, the question is addressed whether co‐authorship should be assigned to youth involved in the study.MethodsHere we address these questions re‐visiting 50 PPI studies included in two recent systematic reviews of PPI on characteristics that are pertinent to questions about transparency, replicability, translatability, and co‐authorship in PPI research.ResultsAlmost two‐third of the studies on youth mental health incorporating PPI translate their results to policy or practice, mostly as recommendations but sometimes also by dissemination of (online) interventions. At the same time the authors of a substantial majority of the studies (70%) also suggest the need for further work on their results, for example, in randomized controlled trials to validate the outcome of their exploratory inquiry. Only a quarter of the studies using PPI met the conditions for replicability, thus a majority of the PPI studies suggest premature translation of results. Authorship to involved participants was assigned in 24% of the studies.Conclusions“Anything goes” for PPI in an exploratory stage to generate fruitful hypotheses. Translation of the findings of PPI studies however require a firm evidence base of replicated results. Radical merging of research and action in participatory action research seems incompatible with replicable and therefore translatable inquiry. Assigning co‐authorship to PPI representatives is often at odds with current guidelines for authorship. More evidence from randomized trials on the translational impact of PPI is needed before grant foundations should require PPI in grant proposals.

Ten lessons learned from the mass digitisation of a herbarium collection.

Worldwide, herbaria maintain collections of reference specimens representing global plant diversity. These collections are a valuable resource for fundamental botanical research and applied scientific research across various disciplines, and play a significant role in addressing major societal challenges such as biodiversity conservation. The digitisation of herbarium specimens and their online dissemination is one of the most important recent developments in the curation of these collections. Digitisation significantly enhances access to the collections for the research community and facilitates large-scale analysis of biodiversity data. Digitisation also provides a means for preserving the physical specimens, as it reduces the need for handling and transportation. Rapid technological developments have greatly accelerated the rate of databasing and digital imaging of collections. Meise Botanic Garden recently completed a six-year project to mass digitise its herbarium collections of about 3 million specimens mounted on sheets and through this process we have learned valuable lessons. We have captured our experience in 10 recommendations for other collection-holding institutions to take inspiration from as they start planning their own digitisation efforts. We also present case studies where we delve deeper into certain topics as examples.
