Effective publication of new plant species

Posted by Sandy_Knapp on 06 May 2010 at 06:38 GMT

The publication of the four new species published in PLoS ONE on 5 May was made effective by the distribution of printed copies of the paper to 11 institutions; 10 botanical libraries (Index Herbariorum acronyms listed in the text of the article) and the International Plant Names Index (IPNI – the indexing centre for flowering plants) to comply with Article 29. Printed copies were posted from the Natural History Museum on the day of publication (in date stamped envelopes) and confirmations of receipt could be posted here! http://www.plosone.org/at...
