摘要

Journal of Systematic Palaeontology strives to maintain the highest possible ethical standards in research and our existing policies state that we will not consider contributions containing material "that is abusive, defamatory, libellous, obscene, fraudulent, or illegal". In addition, we also maintain that specimens described within the journal should be held in publicly-accessible repositories, in order to maximize reproducibility. This further implies that the specimens held by these repositories have been subjected to appropriate standards of legal due diligence and ethical practice.
