For all those who are taxonomists and want to help to disseminate
taxonomic information:
New opportunity to PUBLISH TAXONOMY ONLINE! To disseminate
taxonomic information world-wide, especially for countries/institutes with
poor libraries, publication via the internet is the ideal medium. Taxonomic
information is needed everywhere, and we hope that in future much of it
will be available in any place of this planet wherever a PC is connected to
the internet. To achieve this goal a new journal was founded that uses a
normal peer-review system but publishes both electronically and on paper.
Organisms, Diversity and Evolution is published by the Gesellschaft für
Biologische Systematik (GfBS) (Society for Systematic Biology) and the
Urban & Fischer Verlag. The Journal consists of a printed version and an
electronic supplement. It is devoted to the understanding of organismal
diversity and addresses an international audience. Purely taxonomic
papers are published in the electronic supplement by GfBS. Extended
abstracts of these publications will be contained in the printed
Journal. The electronic supplement will be available free of charge on the
internet independent of the printed Journal to everybody interested.
Examples: see http://www.senckenberg.uni- frankfurt.de/odes/
To fulfill the rules of taxonomic nomenclature (botany/ zoology) diagnoses
appear in the printed version and CDs are deposited in major libraries.
Furthermore, a German institute responsible for the conservation of
electronic data (Deusche Bibliothek, Frankfurt) will take care of the
electronic version to keep the format of stored information up to date.
