About the journal
Paleontological Journal (Paleontologicheskii zhurnal) is the principal Russian periodical in paleontology. The journal publishes original work on the anatomy, morphology, and taxonomy of fossil organisms, as well as their distribution, ecology, and origin. It also publishes studies on evolution of organisms, ecosystems, and biosphere and provides invaluable information on biostratigraphy with an emphasis on Eastern Europe and Asia.
Paleontological Journal is indexed in Georef.

(1) This journal publishes theoretical, methodical, discussional, and critical papers on paleontology; studies on the morphology, phylogeny, systematics, ecology, and biogeography of extinct organisms, and papers on theoretical questions of biostratigraphy.
(2) The layout of a paper should be as follows: Title. Author (s) (First name (s), Second Name). Institution. Date of submission. Date of acceptance. Abstract (including major problems discussed in the paper and key words) for all papers. (1) Text of the paper, (2) References, (3) Explanation of plates, (4) Figure captions.
(3) The journal seeks to publish descriptions of new taxa. Descriptions with incomplete identifications are not allowed. Descriptions must follow the rules imposed by the Codes of Zoological, Botanical, and Stratigraphic Nomenclature. Redescription of previously described taxa requires explanation.
(4) Order of description. Genus: Name, Synonyms, Etymology (for new taxa). Type species. Diagnosis. Species Composition (indicating geological and geographical ranges). 1 Comparison. Remarks (optional).
Species. Name. Reference to plate and figures. Synonyms. Etymology (for new species). Types (holotype, lectotype, or neotype). Description. 2 Dimensions. Ontogenetic changes (optional). Variability (optional). Comparison. Remarks (optional). Occurrence. 3Material.
1When a monotypical genus is described, the ranges may be indicated in the species description.
2 For new paleobotanic taxa, a brief diagnosis (in English) should precede the description.
3 When all the specimens of the species described come from the same locality, the occurrence should not be indicated in the description. In this case, the occurrence is not indicated in either the explanation of plates, or in the figure captions.
(5) A genus should be compared to genera of the same family, a species with species of the same genus. Broader comparisons are allowed in the section Remarks.
(6) Information on types: (a) type species: original name followed by the name of its author and the year of first description; geological occurrence; geographical occurrence; (b) types of the species group (holotype, lectotype, neotype); in cases where the holotype or lectotypes were not designated, syntypes should be indicated: place of deposition, collection no. (in lectotypes and neotypes followed by a reference [in square brackets] to the paper in which these types are designated, or to the present paper if they are designated here); geographical occurrence (in descending order); stratigraphic range (in descending order).
(7) For all specimens mentioned (measured, figured) collection nos. should be indicated.
(8) A references list should come after the text of the paper; surnames of the authors in the list should be placed in alphabetical order, beginning with those whose papers are published in Russian. References in the text should include author surname and the year of publication in parentheses. For quotations the page number should be indicated.
(9) The size of the paper should not exceed 24 pages (maximum size of the paper without figures), or 19– 20 pages + 1 plate + 4 text-figures of medium size. The reference list, explanation of plates, and figure captions are counted as part of the paper. Pages in these sections should be numbered successively. One (exceptionally two) plates are allowed for one paper. The size of the plate should be 17 × 23 cm.
(10) Two copies of the paper should be submitted. Text should be typed, double-spaced, with spaces of 3 - 4 cm on the left and right. Each page should contain not more than 28 lines. Each line should contain not more than 60 characters, including spaces.
(11) The manuscript of the paper should be signed by the author. The author’s full name, postal address (office and home), e-mail, and telephone numbers should be provided.
(12) The editorial board retains the right to reduce and edit the papers.
(13) Two copies of illustrations should be submitted (in the case of photographs, two originals and a photocopy). The best copy of the text should be accompanied by the best originals of figures and photographs in envelopes, the second best copy of the text should be accompanied by mounted copies of illustrations (with ink-written numbers and symbols). These mounted illustrations should be numbered and marked with the authors surname on the front side. The unmounted original photographs should be cut out without the white background (the only exceptions are objects with indistinct or complex contours) identically to those on the mounted copy.
(14) In all explanations of plates and tables, figure and table captions, and symbols in the text, a clear difference should be made between:
(a) capitals and lower case, especially in characters differing only in their case, such as V and v, U and u, W and w, K and k, S and s, J and j, C and c, P and p, by underlining capital letters with two lines, and indicating the lower case letters by two lines above;
(b) similar looking characters (I and J, U and V, i and l, h and n, g and q), and between Roman and Arabian numerals (I and 1, II and 11, III and 111), and between Roman numerals and some characters.
Because of the simultaneous publication of the English translation, the Russian text of the paper should be accompanied by:
(1) English transcription of all foreign proper names and geographical locations;
(2) all quotations in their original language;
(3) the preferred English transcription of Russian terms (if more than one transcription exists);
(4) a list of Russian geographical locations, from which the names of geological formations and beds are derived.
