PaleoBios

UCMP’s peer-reviewed journal: ISSN 0031-0298

PaleoBios is an open-access peer-reviewed journal produced by the University of California Museum of Paleontology (UCMP). PaleoBios publishes scholarly articles on all paleontological topics. Anyone may submit a manuscript, and submissions from non-UCMP authors are encouraged. Submission is handled online through the University of California escholarship portal, so all manuscripts and supporting files must be submitted via the escholarship.org website. This means that PaleoBios now accepts color images, we can hyperlink downloadable data files in any format and size, and there is no limit on the number of manuscript pages or figures.

PaleoBios also publishes abstract volumes for selected paleontological meetings held in California and will consider collections of papers from symposia on appropriate topics.
