Editorial Policies

The Journal of Paleontology publishes original articles and notes on the systematics, phylogeny, paleoecology, paleogeography, and evolution of fossil organisms. It emphasizes specimen-based research and features high quality illustrations. All taxonomic groups are treated, including invertebrates, microfossils, plants, vertebrates, and ichnofossils.

CONTRIBUTION TYPES

Articles are up to 40 printed pages. Authors are asked to pay as much page charges as they can for articles of all lengths. Paying extra page charges is mandatory for articles that run 26-40 pages. Please check with editorial staff for the current page rate charged by Allen Press.

Taxonomic Notes are for nomenclatural adjustments, normally to names previously published in Journal of Paleontology. This is not a venue, however, for petitions to overrule provisions in the codes of zoological or botanical nomenclature. Notes do not contain an abstract.

Memoirs are over 40 printed pages. Allow approximately 3.5 manuscript pages for each printed page. Authors must pay full page charges.
