Megataxa

Aims & Scope

Megataxa is designed for monographic reviews and highly significant original articles reporting major advances in taxonomy. It is a sister journal of Zootaxa / Phytotaxa but aims to be a premium journal of high impact and will primarily be a forum for most important works in taxonomy. To serve the broad taxonomic community, it will also include editorial/correspondence sections to allow invited editorials, major news and announcements, debates, theory/method papers of general taxonomic interests, database reviews, biographic pieces for recently deceased eminent taxonomists. It will have a special focus on big science questions in biology that are taxonomic in nature and essence.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
