Bulletins of American Paleontology

Aims & Scope

Is one of the oldest peer-reviewed paleontological journals in the world and features high quality monographs in paleontology or in neontological subjects that impact paleontology (see Information for Authors below).

This serial publication is issued twice each year, and is a recognized outlet for especially lengthy papers, such as dissertations or the systematic sections of dissertations, that tend to be more difficult to publish in conventional journals.

BAP is distributed widely to academic libraries and museums worldwide.
