(2) INDEX Alphabetical Major Authors (3) INTRODUCTION Taxonomic papers are the basic building blocks for the knowledge of a group of organisms. One of the major hindrances for students starting to research taxonomy of a group is literature. Needed information may be scattered among hundreds of papers issued by the most varied publishers worldwide. OmniPaper aims to work as THE bibliographical resource for systematics of Opiliones on the Internet by preparing PDF files of taxonomic papers on Opiliones and distributing them freely to everyone, thus progressing the study of these arachnids.

(4) CREDITS
(1) All research, contacts, digitalizing, OCR-ing, PDF-ing, spell-checking, whatever-ing is done by AB Kury, except where otherwise noted (I try to give honest credit to everyone who did anything) on each page. General credits and details are in the bottom of this page.
(2) Wanna help? And yes, I need support from my colleagues around the world, if you happen to have any of the papers listed on my page of desiderata, I'd be glad to get a copy, reprint, PDF, images, whatever you can and is convenient for you.
(3) Note: This page is my contribution to the development of opilionology, aiming to make things easier to everyone. Please, don't be like some ugly people, who snatch pictures to post elsewhere without due credit. It won't hurt to cite OmniPaper as the source.
(5) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (a) OmniPaper is manually and painfully organized by AB Kury, however there is a number of wonderful people who spent their own time to assist me in many ways, and I here heartily thank them for helping with this project (I've tried to add more explicit credits on each individual page): Luis Eduardo Acosta, Miguel-Angel Alonso-Zarazaga, Anda Babalean, Renner Baptista, Vera Barbosa, Janet Beccaloni, Pavel Bezděčka, Jan Bezdek, Theo Blick, Ann Bochnowski, Cibele Bragagnolo, Antonio Brescovit, Tom Briggs, Rupert Calvocoressi, Amazonas Chagas Jr, Aleksey Chemeris, James Cokendolpher, Pio Colmenares, László Dányi, William P.

(b) German libraries 2009. In my effort to gather literature, along with my son, I made a visit to Deutschland in April/May 2009, where I received immense support and assistance from the following persons besides my fantastic host Jason Dunlop: the brilliant Anja Friederichs (Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin), the thoughtful Hans-Ulrich Raake (Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin), the dedicated Ute Kaczinski and all the friendly staff at the Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut (Müncheberg, Brandenburg), the attentious librarians at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Universitätsbibliothek, Zweigbibliothek Agrarwissenschaften (Berlin). Also my warmest thanks are due to the competent staff of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Haus Potsdamer Straße for making everything easier for me. (c) England/Denmark 2011. That time it was my other kid's turn to help dad in his biblio-quest. Jan Beccaloni received us the most gracious way and had great patience with our requests in BMNH, London. In the same trip, we also got literature at ZMUC, Copenhagen with the great aid of my dear host Nikolaj Scharff. (d) I wish to immensely thank Ricardo Pinto-da-Rocha (Instituto de Biociências, Universidade de São Paulo), who, besides taking photocopies whenever he is in Europe, also kindly contributed a number of PDFs, built with support from FAPESP, for the OmniPaper project. (e) Axel Schönhofer (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz) also generously contributed a great number of PDF's. He is steadily supporting this project in many different ways. (f) Thanks to Emmanuel Delfosse and Axel Schönhofer for checking broken links. (g) I wish to thank all the colleagues who sent me over the years reprints/photocopies of their own works and those who sent their own pictures and biographical information. (h) After my death in November 18th, 2012, I resurrected and decided just out of curiosity to put a visit counter in February 10th, 2013 and became very impressed to see around more than 40 hits in the first few hours. OmniPaper seems to be fulfilling its purpose to aggregate the Opilio-community, even if it's only to snatch a few PDFs... |

What are the criteria for an author to be considered major as opposed to minor in OmniPaper? -- It varies a lot. There is a great degree of subjectivity. In general, authors that have published less than 4 papers or that are only tangentially devoted to Opiliones go to a collective page. But if either I happen to have a nice picture and some basic biographical info, or the work is of some importance for taxonomy/nomenclature, or the author has the courtesy of replying to e-mails, then such an author could be "promoted" to major and gain an individual page even with only 1 or 2 papers. Some famous zoologists who are widely known but have published little on Opiliones tend to get their very own pages. It depends also on my time to elaborate the pages. So a potential major author could be listed amidst the minor while I don't turn my attention to him/her to make an individual page. If you feel an author is unfairly listed among the minor, you may file a complain to me.

Comments:
1. OmniPaper Project has already been referred to in several scientific publications by professional arachnologists.
2. Some may be concerned about copyright issues. I'm not. Fair use may be invoked.
After all, this is an EDUCATIONAL resource, without any commercial aspect. I'm
not receiving any extra money for doing this and I'm using my spare time because
I believe it's important for the advance of arachnology. Initiatives like this
should be promoted. And zealots, please don't come to me saying that displaying
some papers here will disturb in any way the health of the printers. This is
hypocrisy and I will ignore it. This is not Wikipedia.
3. This page is my intellectual creation, so it's accordingly marked as such.
But I don't mind people using information contained here for education and research
purposes. That's what the web's about. I only wanted to see the credits and
the sources cited as I did. Don't do as some who just ruthless snatch my material
without giving any credit.
Credits:
1. Most of the effort and original research is done by A. B. Kury (originally
based on James Cokendolpher's bibliography list, but greatly enlarged and updated),
relying on the bibliographical resources of the Arachnology Lab in the MNRJ
which counts with the private M-L and Helia Soares libraries.
2. Some biographical/iconographical information has been gathered from the web
and it is always clearly credited, although explicit authorization for use here
is not granted in some cases.
