Aims & Scope

The journal is international and publishes original manuscripts in Spanish and, preferentially, British spelling English on all aspects of broad interest in palaeontology. Particularly, the SJP aims to communicate and promote palaeontological research to the global scientific community. Moreover, articles on new discoveries and approaches are especially welcome. Finally, studies of present-day material can be included if they have significant palaeontological relevance.
