Corvids (Corvidae) play a major role in ornithological research. Because of their worldwide distribution, diversity and adaptiveness, they have been studied extensively. The aim of the Corvids Literature Database (CLD, http://www.corvids.de/cld) is to record all publications (citation format) on all extant and extinct Crows, Ravens, Jays and Magpies worldwide and tag them with specific keywords making them available for researchers worldwide. The self-maintained project started in 2006 and today comprises 8000 articles, spanning almost 500 years. The CLD covers publications from 164 countries, written in 36 languages and published by 8026 authors in 1503 journals (plus books, theses and other publications). Forty-nine percent of all records are available online as full-text documents or deposited in the physical CLD archive. The CLD contains 442 original corvid descriptions. Here, we present a metadata assessment of articles recorded in the CLD including a gap analysis and prospects for future research. Database URL: http://www.corvids.de/cld.
鸦科鸟类在鸟类学研究中发挥着重要作用。由于其在全球的分布、多样性和适应性，它们受到了广泛研究。鸦科文献数据库（CLD，http://www.corvids.de/cld）的目的是记录全球所有现存和已灭绝的乌鸦、渡鸦、松鸦和喜鹊的所有出版物（引用格式），并用特定关键词进行标注，以便全球研究人员使用。这个自主维护的项目始于2006年，如今包含8000篇文章，跨度近500年。CLD涵盖来自164个国家、用36种语言撰写、由8026位作者发表在1503种期刊上的出版物（以及书籍、论文和其他出版物）。所有记录中有49%可作为全文文档在线获取，或存于CLD实体档案中。CLD包含442篇原始鸦科鸟类描述。在此，我们展示了对CLD中记录文章的元数据评估，包括差距分析和未来研究展望。数据库网址：http://www.corvids.de/cld。
