Why ZooKeys is needed? • Public demand for open access to biodiversity data and especially to descriptions of new taxa • Electronic publication gaining acceptance among systematists; lively discussions on its compliance to the 4th ICZN; proposals for amendments to the new (5th) edition of the Code published in October 2008 • ZooBank: attempt to establish a central resource for the registration and validation of new taxon names • LSID: unique identifier for biological information, including (but not limited to) taxon names • Semantic Web enhancements promote connections • Data publication seems to soon become an indispensable part of taxonomic papers • Dissemination of published results becomes at least as important as the publication itself!
Launched on 4th of July 2008 ; 52 issues published, >8000 pages, more than 3000 registered users within two years! • Impact factor of 1.133 gained within 2.5 years; covered by Scopus, Google Scholar, Zoological Record and CABI; accepted for archiving in PubMedCentral • The first mandatory open access journal in systematic zoology • The first mandatory ZooBank registration of all new taxa • Official partners of GBIF and EOL; occurrence dataset supplied to GBIF on the day of publication • All new taxa supplied through XML mark up to EOLand Plazi, as well as to Wikispecies on the day of publication • CrossRef member, DOI provided to articles and supplementary data files • Online and full-colour print versions; no restrictions in colour and no charges for it • Online editorial management system facilitating efficient review and manuscript workflow • Fast publication: typically 3-4 weeks for review, 3-7 days for publication after acceptance • Broad coverage – taxonomy, phylogeny, biogeography, checklists, conference proceedings, special issues, monographs, Festschrift volumes The Present
