[Taxacom] Taxacom Digest, Vol 129, Issue 3

[Frank T. Krell]

Sergio,

If it fulfills the criteria for availability of electronic publications it would be available:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267337910_Open-access_journals_are_now_open_for_discoveries_of_new_plants_and_animals?ev=prf_pub 
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/282355945_Electronic_publications_need_registration_in_ZooBank_to_be_available 
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/274372707_A_mixed_bag_when_are_early_online_publications_available_for_nomenclatural_purposes 
But I suspect the paper would neither have an ISSN nor would it be archived in an approved archived separate from the publisher. So it would not fulfill all the criteria for availability and would be considered unpublished and unavailable for nomenclatural purposes. I would not pre-publish any nomenclaturally relevant paper. Just publish it!

Cheers

Frank

Dear Taxacomers,

happy new year to all. I have a question regarding preprints. If a preprint contains a taxonomic description and is published online in, say, the BioRxiv, (1) would that publication represent a valid publication (note that a DOI is provided by the BioRxiv) (2) what would happen with the later publication (in a journal) of the paper (note it will have a different DOI).

thanks for your answers,

Sergio
