Cretaceous Research provides a forum for the rapid publication of research on all aspects of the Cretaceous Period, including its boundaries with the Jurassic and Palaeogene. Authoritative papers reporting detailed investigations of Cretaceous stratigraphy and palaeontology, studies of regional geology, and reviews of recently published books are complemented by short communications of significant new findings. Papers submitted to Cretaceous Research should place the research in a broad context, with emphasis placed towards our better understanding of the Cretaceous, that are therefore of interest to the diverse, international readership of the journal. Full length papers that focus solely on a local theme or area will not be accepted for publication; authors of short communications are encouraged to discuss how their findings are of relevance to the Cretaceous on a broad scale. Research Areas include: • Regional geology • Stratigraphy and palaeontology • Palaeobiology • Palaeobiogeography • Palaeoceanography • Palaeoclimatology • Evolutionary Palaeoecology • Geochronology • Global events (K/Pg boundary).

Your Paper Your Way We now differentiate between the requirements for new and revised submissions. You may choose to submit your manuscript as a single Word or PDF file to be used in the refereeing process. Only when your paper is at the revision stage, will you be requested to put your paper in to a 'correct format' for acceptance and provide the items required for the publication of your article.

INTRODUCTION Cretaceous Research provides a forum for the rapid publication of research on all aspects of the Cretaceous Period, including its boundaries with the Jurassic and Palaeogene. Authoritative papers reporting detailed investigations of Cretaceous stratigraphy and palaeontology, studies of regional geology, and reviews of recently published books are complemented by short communications of significant new findings. Papers submitted to Cretaceous Research should place the research in a broad context, with emphasis placed towards our better understanding of the Cretaceous, that are therefore of interest to the diverse, international readership of the journal. Full length papers that focus solely on a local theme or area will not be accepted for publication; authors of short communications are encouraged to discuss how their findings are of relevance to the Cretaceous on a broad scale. Research areas include: Regional geology Stratigraphy and palaeontology Palaeobiology Palaeobiogeography Palaeoceanography Palaeoclimatology Evolutionary Palaeoecology Geochronology Global events (K/Pg boundary) A Full Length Article and a Short Communication are both research articles, following the same editorial process in Cretaceous Research. Both articles should have a complete set of empirical data that support the claims on the report (see comments on the Mandatory Submission of Data Sets). A Short Communication should have a maximum of 14 pages of core double-spaced manuscript text, that is, not including the abstract, references, all tables and figures (which should be limited to a maximum of 6 figures). It is important to note that a Short Communication is not a publication that contains too few or preliminary data to justify a full paper, though it may commonly reports "urgent data" that should be communicated to the scientific community prior to the completion of the full investigation. In a way, shortening the articles makes them more concise, succinct and objective, easier to read and assimilate the scientific results. A Short Communication research article actually highlights the importance and significance of new research findings, calling more attention of the scientific community to the paper, and most likely will boost the citation and impact of the article.

  • Open Science in Dinosaur Paleontology Jonathan
    Open Science in Dinosaur Paleontology Jonathan P. Tennant*, Andrew Farke *Corresponding author: [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0001-7794-0218 Abstract Research is in the midst of a period of global terraform, usually heralded under the banner of ‘Open Science’. Open Science is a response from communities to an increasingly digital ecosystem, enabling new practices to emerge. Three of the major pillars of Open Science include Open Access, Open Data, and Open Source. The global paleontological community is slowly adapting to each of these as part of its culture, raising new questions around scientific practices, data standards and interoperability, and the role of paleontological research in a modern society. This chapter discusses some of the progress that the paleontological community has made in shifting towards open practices, and considers some potential avenues for the future of the field. Introduction Dinosaur paleontology originated through the efforts of a handful of researchers, based in just a few areas of the world. Publication was an informal affair by today’s standards, with little expectation of peer review, and in many cases no mention of where important specimens were deposited. The initial report of Triceratops horridus filled scarcely a page of text (Marsh 1889). The situation changed drastically, particularly during the mid-20th century, as the scientific community grew, more publication venues were launched, and increasingly rigorous standards of publication were put into place. Yet, practical limits on manuscript size as well as conservative research practices either intentionally or unintentionally kept the data behind manuscripts largely in the dark. Revolutionary morphometric studies during the 1970s (e.g., Dodson 1975) presented the final research output of increasingly massive datasets, but the measurements behind them were typically unavailable (due in part to limitations on space in physically printed copies).
