[Taxacom] New genus name in title

[Stephen Thorpe]

That could be a deliberate ploy in some cases (i.e. not mentioning the new taxa names in the freely available abstract) to prevent people/agencies who just want to keep track of new taxa from being able to do so without purchasing the full article.

 After having looked at 10,000
 descriptions of reptiles (literally!) I find it rather
 annoying that a lot of authors no not mention the name of
 the new species (or genus), neither in the title nor the
 abstract of their papers. How do we know what they are
 talking about if they don’t say it?
 
 Journal editors and reviewers should be
 a bit stricter with this kind of stuff and make it mandatory
 that new names are actually mentioned in the title or at
 least the abstract.
