The Journal of Paleontological Sciences (JPS) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal. JPS is an interdisciplinary and international journal dedicated to the study of fossils, the practice and application of paleontology, and the scientists, amateurs, and entrepreneurs who devote their time and energy to this field. JPS is an initiative of the Association of Applied Paleontological Sciences (AAPS) to educate professional and private collectors about the importance of responsible fossil collecting and contributing to the scientific process.
JPS is predicated on the idea of free and open access to information and scientific specimens, and abides by AAPS' code of ethics. Commercial and amateur scientists have made and continue to make innumerable contributions alongside university and museum professionals. JPS was established in 2006 with that spirit of cooperation in mind, and it is that core value by which JPS operates to this day.
Interested authors are encouraged to submit publications pertaining to: vertebrate paleontology, invertebrate paleontology, paleobotany, paleoecology, paleoclimatology, and fossil preparation. Papers concerning geomorphology, evolutionary biology, comparative anatomy, zoology, educational studies, economics, and museum studies are also welcome provided they have a focus on fossils and/or paleontology.
Papers may be submitted to the following sections:
- Contributions
- Trade Articles
- Historical Articles
- Commentary
If you would like to submit a paper, have questions, or are interested in contributing to JPS and AAPS, please contact Alex Ruger, Journal Chairman, at 765-914-4439.
