Publication Policy and Practice including Scope of Publications:

PALAEONTOLOGY. Manuscripts on any aspect of palaeontology will be considered for publication. Papers on Recent material may be acceptable if their palaeontological relevance is clear. Preference is given to topics that have more than local significance; those describing only one or two new species of common genera are not usually accepted. As noted above, reviews are welcome provided that they contain a substantial amount of new information and/or new interpretations. Those solicited by the Council of the Association will be given priority of publication, as may short papers that report novel research. Most contributions will, however, be published approximately in the order revised manuscripts are received by the Editor-in-Chief, length and possible production problems permitting.

SPECIAL PAPERS IN PALAEONTOLOGY. These are for papers that are longer than normally accepted for Palaeontology, or for thematic collections of articles. The decision on whether to publish a long paper as a Special Paper or in Palaeontology rests with the Editor-in-Chief and may sometimes depend on current production schedules.

FIELD GUIDES TO FOSSILS. Published at irregular intervals, these are designed primarily to be of value for the identification of fossils found in the British Isles, but guides to fossils encountered in successions overseas will also be considered. They should be broad in scope, and compiled and written in a style that will appeal to both amateur enthusiasts and professional palaeontologists.

FOLD-OUT FOSSILS. Published at irregular intervals, these are aimed at both professional and amateur geologists and palaeontologists who want to be able to identify particular groups of fossils in the field. The first issue, published in 2003, is a fold-out document that consists of a title page and five plates on one side and text, including a glossary of terms, on the other.
