subject Letter to ICZN to support e-publications

Dear Readers,

Following its declared policy to be constantly engaged with innovative ways
of taxonomic publishing and dissemination, ZooKeys prepared a letter to the
International Commission for Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) to support
allowance of e-only publications of nomenclatorial acts in the 5th Edition
of the Code.

The reason for sending this letter to you is not to open a discussion, which
has been taking place over the last 18 months since publication of the
proposed amendments in ZooTaxa (reference provided in the letter). We just
want to give the chance to those of you who agree with the general message
of the letter to sign it, simply by sending back an "AGREE" or "SUPPORT"
message to info@pensoft.net.

You may look/download the letter at:
http://pensoftonline.net/zookeys/Letter%20...ublications.pdf
.

We plan to send the letter to ICZN on Wednesday, 19th of May.

Very best regards,

ZooKeys Editorial Office

I am definitely against long-term publications in the field of taxonomy and nomenclature. if they are resolved, chaos will begin.
