[Taxacom] ICZN e-only publication discussion - NHM, Oct 29th, Saturday

[iczn-em]

To keep up on this issue, you might want to have a look at the several
papers on the botanical vote to accept ?e-only? publication of nomenclatural
acts:

and review the discussion published in the BZN (Comments linked through
here):
http://iczn.org/content/availability-electronic-publication

Note that a recent discussion with publishers reminded us that the name
?e-only? is a slightly misleading simplification in that what is really
being discussed is whether an electronic document should be considered the
version of record, even if it is followed by a print copy at a later time.
It has at its heart questions of archiving.

We will have representatives of both the yay and nay camps, from end users
to taxonomists to publishers, and we expect lively debate.

To help with logistics and provide you with details on entry, please let me
know if you will attend:
iczn-em at nhm.ac.uk

Please feel free to forward this information to anyone who is interested.

I hope to see you there,

Ellinor
