How to cite ITALIC 8.0
The present version of ITALIC is largely based on the information contained in the annotated checklist of Italian lichens by Nimis (2016), but is being continuously updated with new information published after 2016.
Information retrieved from the current version of ITALIC should be cited as follows:
1) For data contained in the taxon pages, incl. nomenclatural data, distributional data in the administrative regions, notes, descriptions, and ecological indicator values: Nimis P.L., 20XX. ITALIC - The Information System on Italian Lichens. Version 8.0. University of Trieste, Dept. of Biology, (https://dryades.units.it/italic), accessed on YYYY, MM, DD. for all. All data are released under a CC BY-SA 4.0 licence.
2) For all other data and items (floristic and statistic query interfaces, TSB Herbarium, distribution maps, etc.) : P.L. Nimis & S. Martellos, 20XX: ITALIC - The Information System on Italian Lichens. Version 8.0. University of Trieste, Dept. of Biology, (https://dryades.units.it/italic), accessed on YYYY, MM, DD. When not otherwise specified, all data and items are released under a CC BY-SA 4.0 licence.
3) To cite the whole ITALIC 8.0 information system:

4) For online identification keys:
1. Individual keys: Author(s) - Title of the key - URL. Accessed on: MM.DD.YYYY
2. All keys: "Identification was based on the the online keys published in ITALIC, the Information System of the Italian Lichens, version 8.0 (see Nimis & Martellos 2020), accessed between YYYY, MM, DD and YYYY, MM, DD " – Literature: Nimis P.L. & Martellos S., 2020 - Towards a digital key to the lichens of Italy. Symbiosis, 82: 149-155.
