Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology

期刊简介：The Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology publishes original contributions on all aspects of vertebrate paleobiology, including vertebrate origins, evolution, functional morphology, taxonomy, biostratigraphy, phylogenetics, paleoecology, paleobiogeography, and paleoanthropology. JVP publishes high quality peer-reviewed original articles, occasional reviews, and interdisciplinary papers. It is international in scope, and emphasizes both specimen- and field-based based research and the use of high-quality illustrations. Priority is given to articles dealing with topics of broad interest to the entire vertebrate paleontology community and to high-impact specialist studies. Articles dealing with narrower topics, including notes on taxonomic name changes (unless these deal with errors published in JVP), preliminary site reports, and documentation of new specimens of well-known taxa, are afforded lower priority.

【译文】《脊椎动物古生物学杂志》发表关于脊椎动物古生物学所有方面的原创贡献，包括脊椎动物起源、进化、功能形态学、分类学、生物地层学、系统发育学、古生态学、古生物地理学和古人类学。该杂志发表高质量的同行评审原创文章、偶尔的评论和跨学科论文。它具有国际视野，强调基于标本和现场的研究以及高质量插图的使用。优先考虑对整个脊椎动物古生物学界具有广泛兴趣的主题文章和高影响力的专业研究。涉及较窄主题的文章，包括关于分类学名称变更的注释（除非这些涉及在JVP上发表的错误），初步遗址报告以及已知类群新标本的记录，其优先级较低。
