Index to fungal genera and species published in Czech Mycology ...

In some cases, we found page numbers given for certain names to be erroneous
(mostly off by one number lower or higher). However, in most cases the erroneous
numbers originated from the same paper, so we were able to find the correct
page numbers.
For Vols. 55–64 the basic data were taken from digital indices (MS Excel files)
used for the preparation of annually printed indices. These are error-free due to
the careful control during their print preparation (JH).
Data check
After entering all records into MS Excel tables, the following corrections were
made:
(1) Mycological or typographic errors were corrected using Index Fungorum as
a reference (JH, MK).
(2) We deleted most of the added homotypic synonyms (JH, MK) absent from the
original journal pages. However, complete deletion by checking “page by page,
line by line” was impossible due to time constraints. Consequently, some
homotypic synonyms added to volume indices by our predecessors may have
remained in the cumulative index.
(3) Checking of the name’s presence on particular journal pages. For Vols. 1–54,
the check was either f a i r l y c u r s o r y (Vols. 13–54: a fast comparison to see
if a name on a journal page was present in the Excel index and vice versa; this
was done completely for pages containing dozens of names but incompletely
for pages with hundreds of names, e.g. species lists; JH) or i n t e n s i v e (vols.
1–12: exact control “page by page, line by line”; JL, MK). An intensive check of
all volumes was impossible due to time constraints. We are aware of the fact
that a very small percentage of names might have remained unnoticed and
thus have not been included in the cumulative index (especially those cited in
species lists, surveys of synonyms and complicated discussions); however,
these never concern key species (those described in detail, and thus most
important).
(4) Vols. 55–64 are error-free (see last paragraph of the previous chapter).
Data indexing
The basic data (genus, species, infraspecific taxon, volume, page) were enriched
by addition of an importance index, i.e the key taxa of each paper have
been highlighted in the index by underlining pages containing such names. The
following taxa were included in the importance index:
(1) Taxa to which an entire paper is devoted. Such names mostly appear in its title.
(2) Taxa studied in detail, i.e. described, illustrated and discussed.
(3) Taxa included in identification keys.
