 In case of removed title pages, you have to try to seek this information from other sources (e.g. TL2). There can be inconspicuous indications on the publication dates of the different parts. Knowing that title pages were often discarded, the publishers in many cases wrote extra notes at the bottom or the top of the text pages regarding the publication dates. As an alternative, you might find the publication dates of the different parts listed at the beginning or the end of a book.\\
 Note that one work can be split abruptly into two or more continued fractions linked to different publication dates, and as a result, even one newly described taxon in this work might be linked to two different dates.\\ \\
-Complex literature is organised in several levels of hierarchy, like the “Flora Iranica”, which comprises several volumes which are furthermore divided into different taxonomic treatments, often containing chapters by different authors.

 Then go to **Edit Index** and link the entry to the corresponding taxon.\\
 In the case of serials, they mainly have a title such as "Schedae ad floram exsiccatam austro-hungaricam" or “Schedae ad Floram Italicam Exsiccatam”. The full title should be entered in the field **Title**; in **Periodical** the abbreviated title should be entered (e.g.” Sched. fl. exs. austro-hung.”). For abbreviations check our database [[documentation:input:literature&#the_international_plant_name_index | IPNI]] or [[documentation:input:literature&#taxonomic_literature-2 | TL2]].\\ \\
-In most cases the editor is given as AUTHOR, but taxa within the series can be described by other people. Series are generally numbered, so indicate this as well. Some serials are organised and distributed in centuriae or other divisions, e.g. the “Herb. Norm. Sched.”. This structure is also documented in the database.\\ \\

 The centuria (latin for a division of a hundred) number is given on the left of the unnamed fields. In principle, this field is restricted to numerals. Hence, “Cent.” is suffixed after the series abbreviation, in this case “Herb. Norm. Sched. Cent.”, the number of the centuria is entered in the left and the range of numbers in the right field.\\ \\

 (2) Figure: illustration, which might be a picture, photograph, drawing, map or a diagram.\\ \\
 (3) Tabula: a set of different figures arranged on an extra page. These categories are used inconsistently by different people, so just follow the indications of your reference.\\ \\
-(4) Periodical: journals which are published more or less periodically in volumes.Titles sometimes change or ceased, but technically on-going. Comprise articles by different authors.\\ \\

 (6) Theses are entered as “Ph.D. Thesis, Univ. Leiden, The Netherlands”, “Ph.D. Thesis, Porto Alegre, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul” [kind of thesis, locality, country]. If necessary, diploma theses also can be entered like “Diploma Thesis, […], […]” but note that diploma theses are no official publications in contrast to Ph.D. theses.\\
