The literature used to be...Well, 750 miles, anyway. The literature used to be full of papers like this, a rich bounty of notes to draw from when doing research. I could have just published the research on my blog, but then it wouldn't be archived with Zoological Record.<br /><br />Overall, I have a strong feeling that there are many such notes as this every year and not published because they are "unworthy of publication". And thus even the basic attributes of species continues to be unknown.<br /><br />I hadn't considered Pan-Pacific Ent, so thanks for that suggestion! Do they only take papers from the west coast or will they publish manuscripts from all of the Nearctic?Kaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15709111344826156855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028565150475419281.post-40664299102253760792011-12-20T01:50:56.560-05:002011-12-20T01:50:56.560-05:00I don't see how anyone could question whether ...I don't see how anyone could question whether a 1200 mile range extension is publishable. I'm a big fan of "notes" papers, and in my taxa of interest (wood boring beetles) there is a long history of such. Some of this might be a result of the large avocational interest in the groups (as with me), but there have been plenty of professionals joining in. Guess I never saw it as padding the resume.<br /><br />Pan-Pacific Entomologist still publishes a lot of notes papers (as well as taxonomic papers). It is a traditional print journal, if you ever find yourself looking for something in that vein.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
