Journal of Systematic Palaeontology

期刊简介：The Journal of Systematic Palaeontology publishes papers that provide novel and impactful results in phylogenetics and systematics and that use these results in ways that significantly advance rigorous analyses of palaeogeography, palaeobiology, functional morphology, palaeoecology or biostratigraphy. Papers dealing with theoretical issues or molecular phylogenetics are also considered if they are of relevance to palaeo-systematists. Contributions that include substantial anatomical descriptions, descriptions of new taxa or taxonomic revisions are welcome, but must also include a substantial systematics component, such as a new phylogeny or a revised higher-level classification. Papers dealing primarily with alpha-taxonomic descriptions, the presentation of new faunal/floristic records or minor revisions to species- or genus-level classifications do not fall within the remit of the journal.

【译文】该系统古生物学杂志发表在系统发育和系统学方面提供新颖且具有影响力的研究成果，并利用这些成果在古地理学、古生物学、功能形态学、古生态学或生物地层学方面进行严格的统计分析。如果理论问题或分子系统发育学对古系统学家具有相关性，则也考虑处理这些问题的论文。包括大量解剖学描述、新分类群描述或分类修订的贡献受到欢迎，但必须包括大量的系统学成分，如新的系统发育或修订的较高层次分类。主要处理初级分类描述、新动物/植物记录的展示或物种或属水平分类的微小修订的论文不在该杂志的范围内。
