Im Mittelpunkt des globalen botanischen Systematisierungsprojekts des 18. Jahrhunderts stand zwar der schwedische Botaniker Carl von LinnE, aber er stand dort nicht allein. LinnE entwickelte einen Arbeitsmodus, der ihm einen kontinuierlichen Zustrom von Pflanzen und Information garantierte, was das Erscheinen seiner Werke in erganzten und korrigierten Neuausgaben zur Folge hatte. Aus dieser kollaborativen und iterativen Dynamik, die nicht nur LinnEs Arbeitsprozess, sondern auch den seiner Zeitgenossen pragte, ging hervor, was hier als das Publikationssystem der Botanik im 18. Jahrhundert beschrieben wird. Publikationen entstanden aus der Vernetzung ihres Autors mit anderen Botanikern, die einander Material und Beobachtungen zur Verfugung stellten, und so Anteil hatten an den Werken der anderen. The Swedish botanist Carl von LinnE was at the center of the global botanical systematization project of the 18th century, but he was not alone there. LinnE developed a working mode that guaranteed him a steady flow of plants and information, which resulted in his works appearing in supplemented and corrected editions. From this collaborative and iterative dynamic, which shaped not only LinnE's work process but also that of his contemporaries, emerged what is described here as the botanical publication system in the 18th century. Publications emerged from the networking of her author with other botanists who made material and observations available to one another, and thus shared in the works of the others.
