Licence

The website footer (version 1.0) and the 2021 data paper in Database give the licence as CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, and the paper explains the choice as protection of knowledge holders against commercial misappropriation. The DIGITAL.CSIC item page for the deposit (hdl 10261/226973) also gives CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 in its rights field. The readme file in the same deposit and the DataCite record for doi:10.20350/digitalCSIC/13686 give CC BY 4.0. The two papers have licences of their own: CC BY 4.0 for the Database paper and CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 for the Journal of Ethnopharmacology paper.

Country shares

The Database paper says that reports from India (41.76%) and Pakistan (25.89%) are the largest share of entries. In the deposited spreadsheet those two figures are the shares of the 649 publications: 271 publications for India and 168 for Pakistan. By entries, India has 915 of 2,330 (39.27%) and Pakistan 771 (33.09%). The article gives the counts from the spreadsheet.

Countries and regions

The spreadsheet records some entries under two countries in one field ("China, Vietnam", 33 entries; "Turkey, Northern Cyprus", one entry) and 37 entries with no country. The 41 countries of the paper match the distinct country names in the spreadsheet once the joint fields are split, with Northern Cyprus counted on its own.

Plant-part sheet

The deposit's readme gives the second sheet, the entries whose plant part is specified, as 1,727 rows. Two of those rows are column headings, which leaves 1,725 entries.
