By publishing about our work, we share insight, increase confidence in findings, allow other researchers to build on our findings and catalyse new collaborations.
Publications are an advocacy tool as well: our policy and position papers investigate the role of natural history collections and associated research in shaping and contributing to today’s society.
CETAF is strongly committed to working towards open science: a future where the outcomes of scientific research are made accessible to all and shared widely.
In this section you can explore the publications produced by CETAF and our members, including journals, floras and scientific articles as well as educational material and policy oriented papers.
The EJT is a scientific journal focusing on descriptive taxonomy. It encompasses the fields of zoology, entomology, botany and palaeontology, and is of global scope, both in terms of its authorship and its geographical coverage.
The Journal is international open access, peer-reviewed, and fully electronic. Its articles are original and adhere to high scientific and technical standards as the impact factor of 0.649 for 2016 shows.
The EJT was established within the European Distributed Institute of Taxonomy (EDIT) and was integrated into CETAF in 2011. The journal is currently run by 9 CETAF member institutions from Belgium, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK.
