Journal Title：Palaeoworld

Palaeoworld is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal dedicated to the study of past life and its environment. We encourage submission of original manuscripts on all aspects of palaeontology and stratigraphy, comparisons of regional and global data in time and space, and results generated by interdisciplinary investigations in related fields. Some issues will be devoted entirely to a special theme whereas others will be composed of contributed articles. Palaeoworld is dedicated to serving a broad spectrum of geoscientists and palaeobiologists as well as serving as a resource for students in fields as diverse as palaeobiology, evolutionary biology, taxonomy and phylogeny, geobiology, historical geology, and palaeoenvironment.

Palaeoworld publishes original articles in the following areas:

?Phylogeny and taxonomic studies of all fossil groups

?Biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy

?Palaeoecology, palaeoenvironment and global changes throughout Earth history

?Tempo and mode of biological evolution

?Biological events in Earth history (e.g., extinctions, radiations)

?Ecosystem evolution

?Geobiology and molecular palaeobiology

?Palaeontological and stratigraphic methods

?Interdisciplinary studies focusing on fossils and strata

Palaeoworld 是一份同行評議的季刊，致力于研究過去的生命及其環境。我們鼓勵提交關于古生物學和地層學各個方面的原創手稿、時間和空間上的區域和全球數據的比較以及相關領域跨學科研究的結果。有些期刊將完全致力于一個特殊主題，而其他期刊將由投稿文章組成。 Palaeoworld 致力于為廣大地質學家和古生物學家提供服務，同時也為古生物學、進化生物學、分類學和系統發育、地質生物學、歷史地質學和古環境等不同領域的學生提供資源。

Palaeoworld 在以下領域發表原創文章：

?所有化石群的系統發育和分類學研究

?生物地層學、化學地層學、年代地層學

?古生態學、古環境和地球歷史中的全球變化

?生物進化的速度和方式

?地球歷史中的生物事件（例如滅絕、輻射）

?生態系統進化

?地質生物學和分子古生物學

?古生物學和地層學方法

?以化石和地層為重點的跨學科研究

Palaeoworld創刊于2006年，由Elsevier出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋PALEONTOLOGY全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 ，影響因子指數1.7，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
