Papers in Palaeontology

古生物学论文是专门发表论文，记录过去生命的多样性及其在时间和空间上的分布。作为古生物学的姐妹出版物，它的重点是描述性研究，包括对新分类群的描述，对高等分类群的系统修订，详细的生物地层和生物地理文献，以及来自特定地点或地区的植物区系和动物群的描述。大部分稿件的长度预计不超过30页，但如果材料值得的话，会考虑更长的稿件，包括单个主题部分。

Papers in Palaeontology is devoted to the publication of papers that document the diversity of past life and its distribution in time and space. As a sister publication to Palaeontology its focus is on descriptive research, including the descriptions of new taxa, systematic revisions of higher taxa, detailed biostratigraphical and biogeographical documentation, and descriptions of floras and faunas from specific localities or regions. Most contributions are expected to be less than 30 pp long but longer contributions will be considered if the material merits it, including single topic parts.
