[Taxacom] Paper on taxonomic standards in herpetology

[Paul Kirk]

peer review is a myth ... :-)

one aims high and if one misses one accepts lower until one hits a journal thats short on it's manuscript quota - I've seen it so many times.

Ah, well this is something I didn?t know about the code, a loophole you
could drive a bus through. Thanks Frank. Now for the follow-up question.
What are chances of closing said loophole? I am certain there are reasons
why it hasn?t happened yet but it is interesting for the more naive like me.
