Journal Title：Palaios

PALAIOS is a monthly journal, founded in 1986, dedicated to emphasizing the impact of life on Earth's history as recorded in the paleontological and sedimentological records. PALAIOS disseminates information to an international spectrum of geologists and biologists interested in a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to, biogeochemistry, ichnology, paleoclimatology, paleoecology, paleoceanography, sedimentology, stratigraphy, geomicrobiology, paleobiogeochemistry, and astrobiology.

PALAIOS publishes original papers that emphasize using paleontology to answer important geological and biological questions that further our understanding of Earth history. Accordingly, manuscripts whose subject matter and conclusions have broader geologic implications are much more likely to be selected for publication. Given that the purpose of PALAIOS is to generate enthusiasm for paleontology among a broad spectrum of readers, the editors request the following: titles that generate immediate interest; abstracts that emphasize important conclusions; illustrations of professional caliber used in place of words; and lively, yet scholarly, text.

PALAIOS 是一份月刊，创刊于 1986 年，致力于强调古生物学和沉积学记录中记录的生命对地球历史的影响。 PALAIOS 向对广泛主题感兴趣的国际地质学家和生物学家传播信息，包括但不限于生物地球化学、地质学、古气候学、古生态学、古海洋学、沉积学、地层学、地球微生物学、古生物地球化学和天体生物学。

PALAIOS 发表的原创论文强调使用古生物学来回答重要的地质和生物学问题，从而加深我们对地球历史的理解。因此，主题和结论具有更广泛地质意义的手稿更有可能被选中发表。鉴于 PALAIOS 的目的是激发广大读者对古生物学的热情，编辑们要求以下内容：引起直接兴趣的标题；强调重要结论的摘要；用专业水准的插图代替文字；生动而学术的文字。
