[Taxacom] Nomenclatural availability of preliminary electronic versions of taxonomic papers

[Frank T. Krell]

Dear Colleagues,

my paper on the same topic that Dubois et al. suggest to reject is also available on Research Gate and academia.edu:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/274372707_A_mixed_bag_when_are_early_online_publications_available_for_nomenclatural_purposes
https://www.academia.edu/11757528/A_mixed_bag_when_are_early_online_publications_available_for_nomenclatural_purposes

I consider my suggestions a more realistic and workable approach.

All the best

Frank

Subject: [Taxacom] Nomenclatural availability of preliminary electronic versions of taxonomic papers

Dear Colleagues,

We published in the *Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature* a paper dealing with the electronic availability of preliminary versions (so-called 'early
views') of taxonomic papers containing new names or nomenclatural acts.

This paper can be downloaded at:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/282651131_Nomenclatural_availability_of_preliminary_electronic_versions_of_taxonomic_papers_in_need_of_a_clear_definition

or

https://www.academia.edu/16552783/Nomenclatural_availability_of_preliminary_electronic_versions_of_taxonomic_papers_in_need_of_a_clear_definition

In this paper, we proposed the creation of a 'label' for journals taking the engagement to publish online only one version of each paper, with its final date, issue number and pagination.

Colleagues, editors and publishers interested in this proposal of label are welcome to contact us at <zoonomina at gmail.com>.

Best wishes,

Alain Dubois

“La culture ce n’est pas avoir le cerveau farci de dates, de noms ou de chiffres, c’est la qualité du jugement, l’exigence logique, l’appétit de la preuve, la notion de la complexité des choses et de l’arduité des problèmes. C’est l’habitude du doute, le discernement dans la méfiance, la modestie d’opinion, la patience d’ignorer, la certitude qu’on n’a jamais tout le vrai en partage; c’est avoir l’esprit ferme sans l’avoir rigide, c’est être armé contre le flou et aussi contre la fausse précision, c’est refuser tous les fanatismes et jusqu’à ceux qui s’autorisent de la raison; c’est suspecter les dogmatismes officiels mais sans profit pour les charlatans, c’est révérer le génie mais sans en faire une idole, c’est toujours préférer ce qui est à ce qu’on préférerait qui fût.”
(Jean Rostand, Le droit d’être naturaliste, 1963).
