Journals for Palaeoentomologists

African Invertebrates
       An option to publish on invertebrate fossils from Africa.
Cretaceous Research
       Provides a forum for the rapid publication of research on all aspects of the Cretaceous Period, including its boundaries with the Jurassic and Tertiary.
Entomological Problems
       It publishes original papers, reviews and short notes on all aspects of entomology and arachnology. Comes out twice a year.
Fragmenta Faunistica
       Now the journal is issued semi-annually and publishes the papers devoted to knowing fauna, its differentiation, distribution and transformation. These are the results of original studies, review articles and syntheses dealing with faunology and related sciences as zoogeography or zoocenology.
Geologica Acta
       Aims to stimulate rapid diffusion of results and efficient exchange of ideas between Earth Science researchers with special emphasis on Latinamerica, The Caribbean, Europe, the Mediterranean. It provides permanent FREE ACCESS to all its publications and contents via internet.
Journal of Paleontology
       The Journal of Paleontology publishes original articles and notes on the systematics of fossil organisms and the implications of systematics to all aspects of paleobiology and stratigraphic paleontology. It emphasizes specimen-based research and features high quality illustrations. All taxonomic groups are treated.
Journal of Systematic Palaeontology
       The Journal of Systematic Palaeontology publishes major papers describing new or poorly understood faunas and floras, or which use systematics in ways that significantly advance our understanding of palaeogeography, palaeobiology, functional morphology, palaeoecology, biostratigraphy or phylogenetic relationships.
Lethaia
       Lethaia is a leading international journal that emphasizes new developments and discoveries in palaeobiological and biostratigraphical research. The articles concentrate on the development of new ideas and methods and descriptions of new features of wide significance rather than routine descriptions. Four issues per year.
