Megataxa

Aims & Scope

Megataxa is a premium journal of high impact, dedicated to publishing monographic reviews and highly significant original articles reporting major advances in taxonomy.

The journal aims to serve the broad taxonomic community by including editorial/correspondence sections on invited editorials, major news and announcements, debates, theory/method papers, database reviews, and biographic pieces.

Megataxa will focus on big science questions in biology that are taxonomic in nature and essence, and will be linked with a new international society for taxonomists to promote taxonomy and facilitate collaboration.
