PALAIOS is a monthly journal, founded in 1986, dedicated to emphasizing the impact of life on Earth's history as recorded in the paleontological and sedimentological records. PALAIOS disseminates information to an international spectrum of geologists and biologists interested in a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to, biogeochemistry, ichnology, paleoclimatology, paleoecology, paleoceanography, sedimentology, stratigraphy, geomicrobiology, paleobiogeochemistry, and astrobiology.

PALAIOS publishes original papers that emphasize using paleontology to answer important geological and biological questions that further our understanding of Earth history. Accordingly, manuscripts whose subject matter and conclusions have broader geologic implications are much more likely to be selected for publication. Given that the purpose of PALAIOS is to generate enthusiasm for paleontology among a broad spectrum of readers, the editors request the following: titles that generate immediate interest; abstracts that emphasize important conclusions; illustrations of professional caliber used in place of words; and lively, yet scholarly, text.

PALAIOS 是一份月刊，创刊于 1986 年，致力于强调生命对古生物学和沉积学记录中记录的地球历史的影响。PALAIOS 向对广泛主题感兴趣的国际地质学家和生物学家传播信息，包括但不限于生物地球化学、遗迹学、古气候学、古生态学、古海洋学、沉积学、地层学、地质微生物学、古生物地球化学和天体生物学。

PALAIOS 发表原创论文，强调使用古生物学来回答重要的地质和生物学问题，从而进一步加深我们对地球历史的了解。因此，主题和结论具有更广泛地质意义的稿件更有可能被选中发表。鉴于 PALAIOS 的目的是在广大读者中激发对古生物学的热情，编辑要求：标题能引起立即的兴趣；摘要强调重要的结论；用专业水准的插图代替文字；以及生动活泼且学术性的文字。

该刊已被国际权威数据库SCIE收录，该刊致力于发表经过严格同行评审的高质量原创文章，反映地学-地质学领域的新进展、新技术、新成果，促进该领域科研交流和科研成果转化。该刊2023年影响因子为1.5，平均审稿速度为 约6.0个月 ，近四年来没有被列入预警名单。如果您需要投稿发表服务及指导，可以联系我们的客服老师，我们专业专注服务期刊投稿协助10年，为您提供期刊投稿个性化定制服务，并且我们确保严格保密您的个人信息及稿件内容。
