[Taxacom] EJT, European journal for taxonomy : call for papers

[Lynn Raw]

 Adam,

 If you look at the website you will see that they probably have this 
 covered - "Printed versions of EJT papers will be distributed to some 
 major natural history museums and institutions to comply with the rules 
 of the different nomenclatural codes." I wonder who is covering the 
 costs of printing and distribution and if they have considered the legal 
 deposit requirements.

 Regards,
