What*?

 

The EJT Consortium, consisting of European natural history museums and 

botanical gardens, is proud to present the *European Journal of Taxonomy*!

 

EJT is an international, fully electronic, Open Access journal for 

descriptive taxonomy, in *zoology, entomology, botany, and 

palaeontology*. Publishing in EJT is free (*there are no page charges*) 

and access is free as well (*there are no subscription charges*). So 

neither authors, nor readers have to pay!

 

EJT-papers must be original and of a high standard both in scientific 

content and technical execution (language, art work,..). The scope of 

EJT is *global*; neither authorship nor the geographical region of study 

is restricted to Europe.

 

EJT publishes taxonomic contributions and revisions, monographs and 

opinion papers. Less comprehensive taxonomic papers (e.g. those dealing 

with a few species of a taxon) will be accepted for review provided 

their wider context and impact is both high and explained clearly.

 

EJT follows Creative Commons Copyright, so authors retain the 

*copyright* of their papers.

 

*Why*?

 

Coordinating institutional resources into a single publishing platform 

contributes to *excellence*, prevents repetition, and increases 

*efficiency in the dissemination* of taxonomic data, while providing a 

secure long-term platform at minimal cost.
