SPONSORSHIP OF PE:
Palaeontologia Electronica is now in its sixth year, and with this issue
has published more than 50 scientific articles concerned with palaeontology
in its broadest sense. PE is sponsored by the Palaeontological Association
(www.palass.org), the Paleontological Society (www.paleosoc.org), and the
Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (www.vertpaleo.org).

SUBMIT AN ARTICLE TO PE:
Palaeontologia Electronica is seeking technical contributions in the form
of manuscripts or thematic groups of papers (i.e., theme issues).
Manuscripts from any branch of paleontology are welcome. Electronic
publication is rapid: the papers in PE 6(1) took less than two months from
acceptance to publication on average. PE manuscripts are evaluated in the
same way as contributions to standard print-based paleontological journals.
All technical papers are peer-reviewed and published as html and pdf
documents, accessible to all with Internet connections via the World Wide
Web (WWW). Authors are encouraged to make use of color in their figures
and tables, and to include high-resolution digital images as illustrations.
Moreover, Palaeontologia Electronica encourages manuscripts that employ
animations, 2D and 3D modelling techniques, online access to databases, and
online data analysis tools. There are no page limits and no page charges
for articles published in Palaeontologia Electronica, though all articles
are edited to optimize their information content. PE complies with ICZN
regulations for electronic publication of taxonomic names. For more
information visit the PE site.
