1. Find out if the information is complete and up to date:

• [x] Check the homepage if available or google the institution name in the country. Check if all collections for that institution are represented in GRSciColl.
• [x] Add missing collections/information to the institution on GRSciColl directly in the registry. If some collections are digitized, put the information in the GRSciColl Notes field.

2. Check if the data is also in GBIF:

• [x] If there are GBIF occurrence records linked, check from which dataset/publisher they come. Is the institution a registered publisher? Or do the records come from a third party publisher? Are all the collections in GRSciColl also in GBIF? (add comments to the issue)
• [x] If no record is linked to GRSciColl, look for the institution name on the GBIF list of publishers. Is there any corresponding publisher? Have they published any data? (add comments to the issue)
• [x] If data has been published on GBIF but isn’t linked to GRSciColl, notify Marie (tag ManonGros), she can link the data.
• [x] Translate outcome of your checks into labels. See guidelines here: https://github.com/gbif/collection-mobilization#readme

@ManonGros I believe the occurrences are mistakenly linked because Moscow Pedagogical State University has a coincidental acronym MPSU. The website of the department doesn't tell much in English.

Thanks @ckotwn you are right. I have added the code (and identifier used in the data) to https://registry.gbif.org/institution/b54d4e8f-3975-470d-b740-6413e0117a08 and I will reinterpret the data on Friday. The occurrences should be linked to the correct institution.

The occurrences are now linked to the correct entry
