Igor Orlov, PhD

Editorial role

Staphylinidae Literature is curated and maintained by Igor Orlov as an independent editorial and bibliographic project. Igor Orlov holds a PhD in Biosystematics. His work on the bibliography includes publication selection, bibliographic review, taxonomic and geographic indexing, documentation of source conflicts and preparation of dataset updates.

Automated tools support source discovery, cross-checking, validation and site maintenance. Language models may be used to draft wording, but they are not treated as sources. Igor Orlov checks factual content against linked first-party sources and remains responsible for editorial decisions.

The working method is described on the About page.
