[Taxacom] Journal of Threatened Taxa

[John Grehan]

In case of interest to any listers who are not aware of it, the Journal of
Threatened Taxa provides a potentially nice publication venue as it will
publish taxonomic articles, has no page charges, and is open access at
http://threatenedtaxa.org/index.php/JoTT

While most articles are from the Indian region, the potential scope is
global I think. My own experience of the journal was fairly good, some
delay with the review process, but otherwise worked out well. Below is a
list of articles from the latest issue:
