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.
