The Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) is a free, open source software tool provided by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and used to publish and share biodiversity datasets through the GBIF network. The IPT can also be configured with a DataCite account in order to assign DOIs to datasets, thus transforming it into a data repository.
