Cretaceous Research

期刊简介：Cretaceous Research provides a forum for the rapid publication of research on all aspects of the Cretaceous Period, including its boundaries with the Jurassic and Palaeogene. Authoritative papers reporting detailed investigations of Cretaceous stratigraphy and palaeontology, studies of regional geology, and reviews of recently published books are complemented by short communications of significant new findings.Papers submitted to Cretaceous Research should place the research in a broad context, with emphasis placed towards our better understanding of the Cretaceous, that are therefore of interest to the diverse, international readership of the journal. Full length papers that focus solely on a local theme or area will not be accepted for publication; authors of short communications are encouraged to discuss how their findings are of relevance to the Cretaceous on a broad scale.Research Areas include:• Regional geology• Stratigraphy and palaeontology• Palaeobiology• Palaeobiogeography• Palaeoceanography• Palaeoclimatology• Evolutionary Palaeoecology• Geochronology• Global events.

【译文】《白垩纪研究》提供了一个快速发表关于白垩纪时期各方面研究的论坛，包括其与侏罗纪和古近纪的界限。权威论文详细报道了白垩纪地层学和古生物学的研究，区域地质学的研究以及最近出版书籍的评论。这些论文辅以关于重要新发现的简短通讯。提交给《白垩纪研究》的论文应将研究置于广泛背景下，强调对白垩纪的更好理解，因此对期刊多样化的、国际的读者群具有兴趣。仅关注局部主题或地区的完整论文将不予接受发表；鼓励简短通讯的作者讨论他们的发现如何与白垩纪的广泛规模相关。研究领域包括：区域地质学、地层学和古生物学、古生物学、古生物地理学、古海洋学、古气候学、进化古生态学、年代学、全球事件。
