Taxacom: The practice of Zoologica Scripta

[Geoff Read]

Posting from my private email.  Sorry about the extra fluff that results from using my workplace email.

Okay.

It is https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.1111%2Fzsc.12651&data=05%7C02%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7Ca3196cc2f6f84cd42a0a08dc29c0f797%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638431155973596547%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=scLE5Ek5wKyUkW%2BZfp6WZ4SLFFP79Q0b67cuBXZM3E0%3D&reserved=0  

an article on Capitella bristleworms mainly molecularly distinguished, & open access.  However, the same treatment will have been done to all the 'early view' articles with new taxa

The 'disclaimer' is here:
https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fonlinelibrary.wiley.com%2Fpage%2Fjournal%2F14636409%2Fhomepage%2Fproductinformation.html&data=05%7C02%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7Ca3196cc2f6f84cd42a0a08dc29c0f797%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638431155973596547%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Mt9oh%2FH4QL7M4Cq%2FYrhBIjW%2BqBVoI1i8djAAM8vAqq0%3D&reserved=0 

I would be very reluctant to treat the names as unavailable.  The 'work' is all the files, not just the pdf.

>Could you provide the title/link to the paper. The availability of the names depends on what is included in the pdf/A, i.e.. in the immutable part of the paper. If components required for availability are only in the Word document, the names will not be available.
>Putting taxonomy into electronic supplements gives a clear message that taxomony is second class science and not worth to be in the main journal. Zoological Scripta was always very "progressive" in terms of Code requirements, e.g., by admitting uninominal names for species, for example, following the then version of the Phylocode.
>I guess taxonomy should not be published in Zoological Scripta. What a shame. Well, I would like to see the paper first before I draw conclusions.
