专著是系统植物学进步的基础。它们是界定和命名分类群、确定分布和生态、评估正式分类的关系以及解释进化过程的长期和短期维度的工具。尽管它们很重要，但现在由新一代系统植物学家准备的专著越来越少，可以理解的是，他们主要参与DNA数据和分析，特别是在回答系统发育、生物地理学和种群遗传学问题方面。由于专著提供了关于物种边界和植物关系的假设，许多植物群体迫切需要新的见解。生物多样性面临的越来越大的压力，特别是在世界热带和发展中地区，强调了这一点。一个有21人参加的研讨会的结果重申了专著在系统植物学中发挥的核心作用。但是，我们建议全面展示相关信息，而不是倡导专题产品的简化模型。电子出版物提供了许多说明分类群、生境、特征以及统计和系统发育分析的手段，而这些在以前是非常昂贵的。开放获取和语义增强的链接电子出版物提供了对世界任何地方内容的即时访问，同时将这些内容与作品中使用的所有基础数据和数字资源联系起来。支持专著的资源，特别是数据库以及广泛和容易获取的数字文献和标本，现在比以往任何时候都更加强大，但数据库的接口和互操作性是非常必要的。要开发的新资源的优先事项包括建立类型收集索引和在线全球染色体数据库。强烈鼓励为专著作者不间断地从事重大项目的休假提供资金。我们建议博士生被分配较小的属或较大属(亚属、组等)的自然部分，以获得撰写专著所需的专业知识，包括在广泛的数据收集(如形态学、解剖学、孢粉学、细胞遗传学、DNA技术、生态学、生物地理学)、数据分析(如统计学、系统发育学、模型)和命名法方面的培训。在研究所、协会和机构的支持下，培训计划为向下一代年轻的系统学家传授挑战植物学专著的程序和观点提供了手段。
Monographs are fundamental for progress in systematic botany. They are the vehicles for circumscribing and naming taxa, determining distributions and ecology, assessing relationships for formal classification, and interpreting long-term and short-term dimensions of the evolutionary process. Despite their importance, fewer monographs are now being prepared by the newer generation of systematic botanists, who are understandably involved principally with DNA data and analysis, especially for answering phylogenetic, biogeographic, and population genetic questions. As monographs provide hypotheses regarding species boundaries and plant relationships, new insights in many plant groups are urgently needed. Increasing pressures on biodiversity, especially in tropical and developing regions of the world, emphasize this point. The results from a workshop (with 21 participants) reaffirm the central role that monographs play in systematic botany. But, rather than advocating abbreviated models for monographic products, we recommend a full presentation of relevant information. Electronic publication offers numerous means of illustration of taxa, habitats, characters, and statistical and phylogenetic analyses, which previously would have been prohibitively costly. Open Access and semantically enhanced linked electronic publications provide instant access to content from anywhere in the world, and at the same time link this content to all underlying data and digital resources used in the work. Resources in support of monography, especially databases and widely and easily accessible digital literature and specimens, are now more powerful than ever before, but interfacing and interoperability of databases are much needed. Priorities for new resources to be developed include an index of type collections and an online global chromosome database. Funding for sabbaticals for monographers to work uninterrupted on major projects is strongly encouraged. We recommend that doctoral students be assigned smaller genera, or natural portions of larger ones (subgenera, sections, etc.), to gain the necessary expertise for producing a monograph, including training in a broad array of data collection (e.g., morphology, anatomy, palynology, cytogenetics, DNA techniques, ecology, biogeography), data analysis (e.g., statistics, phylogenetics, models), and nomenclature. Training programs, supported by institutes, associations, and agencies, provide means for passing on procedures and perspectives of challenging botanical monography to the next generation of young systematists.
