JOURNAL POLICY


Paleobiology publishes original research contributions dealing with any aspect of biological paleontology and geobiology. Papers should emphasize biological or paleobiological processes and patterns and seek to answer a question or test a hypothesis or broad signifi cance. Appropriate topics or themes include, but are not limited to, speciation, extinction, development, natural selection, evolution, and patterns of variation, abundance, and distribution in space and time. Papers concerning research on recent organisms and systems are appropriate if they are relevant to paleontologists.


All manuscripts are to be in English. A guide to manuscript preparation is published online at: http://


journals.cambridge.org/PAB. All manuscript submissions and the review process are handled online at: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pab. Submission of a manuscript to Paleobiology implies that it is not simultaneously being considered for publication by another journal.


Manuscripts are typically 50 pages or less (including text, references, tables, and fi gures); shorter manuscripts are encouraged. Supplementary materials for accepted manuscripts are not published in the print version, and must be archived at Dyad at http://datadryad.org. Previously unpublished datasets used in analyses must be archived in Dryad. Authors are not required to upload all aspects of the datasets; however, the archived data must be suffi cient to reproduce all results presented in the manuscript. Any custom written programs (e.g., R scripts) used in analyses and graphing must be archived in Dryad as well. The archiving is required only for accepted manuscripts and the authors are not required to upload those fi les to Dryad during the initial submission of the manuscript. Pre-submission inquiries about potential suitability of manuscripts should be directed to the editors at: paleobiology@cambridge.org.


MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTANCE POLICY


It is understood that, in return for publication, the journal has the nonexclusive right to publish the contribution and the continuing right, without limit, to include the contribution as part of an reprinting of the issue or volume of the journal in which the contribution fi rst appeared by any means and in any format, including computer-assisted storage and readout, in which the issue or volume may be produced by the publisher or by its licensed agencies.
