Statement of Purpose
Founded in 1986, PALAIOS is a bimonthly
journal dedicated to emphasizing the impact of life on Earth history
as recorded in the paleontological and sedimentological records.
PALAIOS disseminates information to an international spectrum of
geologists and biologists interested in a broad range of topics,
including, but not limited to, biogeochemistry, ichnology,
paleoclimatology, paleoecology, paleoceanography, sedimentology,
stratigraphy, geomicrobiology, paleobiogeochemistry and
astrobiology.
PALAIOS publishes original papers that
emphasize using paleontology to answer important geological and
biological questions that further our understanding of Earth
history. Accordingly, manuscripts whose subject matter and
conclusions have broader geologic implications--rather than narrowly
focused discourses--are much more likely to be selected for
publication. Given that the purpose of PALAIOS is to generate
enthusiasm for paleontology among a broad spectrum of readers, the
editors request the following: titles that generate immediate
interest; abstracts that emphasize important conclusions;
illustrations of professional caliber used in place of words; and
lively, yet scholarly, text.
PALAIOS should be the journal of choice in
which to publish innovative research involving all aspects of past
and present life from which geological, biological, chemical, and
atmospheric processes can be deciphered and applied to finding
solutions to past and future geological and paleontological
problems. PALAIOS reserves the right to reject manuscripts based on
prior publication of substantial portions of text, data, or
conclusions, including those published in a language other than
English or through electronic media such as websites.
