'''[[Chapter3|Chapter 3: Criteria of Publication]]''' ---- (See Article8Discussion) '''Article 8. What constitutes published work.''' A work is to be regarded as published for the purposes of zoological nomenclature if it complies with the requirements of this Article and is not excluded by the provisions of Article 9. '''8.1. Criteria to be met.''' A work must satisfy the following criteria: . '''8.1.1.''' it must be issued for the purpose of providing a public and permanent scientific record, . '''8.1.2.''' it must be obtainable, when first issued, free of charge or by purchase, and . '''8.1.3.''' it must have been produced in an edition containing simultaneously obtainable copies by a method that assures . '''8.1.3.1''' numerous identical and durable copies (see Article 8.4), or . '''8.1.3.2.''' widely accessible electronic copies with fixed content and format (e.g. PDF/A, ISO Standard 19005-1:2005) (see Article 8.5). '''8.2. Publication may be disclaimed.''' A work that contains a statement to the effect that it is not issued for public and permanent scientific record, or for purposes of zoological nomenclature, is not published within the meaning of the Code. '''8.3. Names and acts may be disclaimed.''' If a work contains a statement to the effect that all or any of the names or nomenclatural acts in it are disclaimed for nomenclatural purposes, the disclaimed names or acts are not available. Such a work may be a published work (i.e. taxonomic information in it may have the same nomenclatural status as the taxonomic information in a published but suppressed work: see Article 8.7.1). '''8.4. Works issued as physical copies.''' Works issued as physical copies are subject to the following criteria: . '''8.4.1. Works printed on paper.''' After 2011, the only acceptable means of producing physical copies is by printing on paper using ink or toner. . '''8.4.2. Works on CD-ROM or DVD.''' To be considered published for purposes of zoological nomenclature, a work on CD-ROM or DVD . '''8.4.2.1.''' must have been issued after 1999 and before 2012, and . '''8.4.2.2.''' must contain a statement naming at least 5 major publicly accessible libraries in which copies of the CD-ROM or DVD were to have been deposited. '''8.5. Works issued and distributed electronically.''' To be considered published for purposes of zoological nomenclature, a work issued and distributed electronically must . '''8.5.1.''' have been issued after 2011, . '''8.5.2.''' state at least the year of publication in the work itself, and . '''8.5.3.''' be archived with an organization other than the publisher in a manner compliant with ISO standard 14721:2003 for an Open Archive Information System (OAIS), or the successors to that standard. . '''8.5.3.1.''' The archiving organization’s website must provide a means to determine that a work is contained in the archive.This may be at the level of journal or book title rather than article or chapter title. . '''8.5.3.2.''' The archiving organization must have permanent or irrevocable license to make the work accessible should the publisher no longer do so. . '''8.5.3.3.''' If it is found that the work was not deposited in an archive within one year after the work’s stated date of publication, or that after the publisher or its successor no longer supports distribution of a work it cannot be recovered from an archive, the case must be referred to the Commission for a ruling on the availability of any names and nomenclatural acts contained in the work. '''8.6. New methods of publication and archiving.''' The Commission may issue Declarations to clarify whether new or unconventional methods of production, distribution, formatting, or archiving can produce works that are published in the meaning of the Code. '''8.7. Status of suppressed works.''' A work that has been suppressed for nomenclatural purposes by the Commission by use of the plenary power [Art. 81] and that satisfies the provisions of this Article remains published within the meaning of the Code, unless the Commission has ruled that it is to be treated as not having been published; . '''8.7.1.''' such a work remains available as a source of published descriptions and illustrations, but not as a work in which a name or nomenclatural act (such as the fixation of a name-bearing type, or the determination of precedence under Article 24.2) can be made available. '''Recommendation 8A. Wide dissemination.''' Authors have a responsibility to ensure that new scientific names, nomenclatural acts, and information likely to affect nomenclature are made widely known. Authors can accomplish this by publishing in appropriate scientific journals or well-known monographic series, by entering new names and nomenclatural acts into the ''Offical Register of Zoological Nomenclature'' (ZooBank), and by sending copies of their works to the ''Zoological Record''. '''Recommendation 8B. Minimum edition of printed works.''' A work on paper should be issued in a minimum edition of 25 copies, printed before any are distributed. '''Recommendation 8C. Electronic works.''' Electronic works should be structured to allow automated indexing and data extraction. '''Recommendation 8D. Content immutable.''' The content of a work is immutable once it is published. Publishers should not allow any changes to a work after its publication, even to correct typographical errors. Such changes automatically create a new work in the sense of the Code. Corrections should instead be made through notices of errata or other separate publications. This is particularly true for electronic works and works produced by print-on-demand. Second or other additional printings of a work should be clearly labeled as such, with date of publication stated in the work, even if no changes have been introduced. '''Recommendation 8E.''' Public accessibility of published works. Copies of published works that contain new scientific names or nomenclatural acts, or information likely to affect nomenclature, should be permanently conserved in or by libraries that make their holdings publicly accessible. '''Recommendation 8F. Responsibilities of authors, editors and publishers.''' Authors, editors and publishers have a responsibility to ensure that works containing new names, nomenclatural acts, or information likely to affect nomenclature are self-evidently published within the meaning of the Code. Editors and publishers should ensure that works contain the date of publication, and information about where they may be obtained. '''Recommendation 8G. Inclusion of disclaimers.''' Editors and publishers should avoid including new names and the information that might appear to make the names available, or new nomenclatural acts, in works that are not issued for public and permanent scientific record (such as pre-symposium abstracts, or notices of papers to be delivered at a meeting). They should ensure that such documents contain a disclaimer (see Article 8.2), so that new names published for the first time therein do not enter zoological nomenclature unintentionally and preempt intended publication in another work. ---- [[Preamble]] | Articles [[Article1|1]] [[Article2|2]] [[Article3|3]] [[Article4|4]] [[Article5|5]] [[Article6|6]] [[Article7|7]] [[Article8|8]] [[Article9|9]] [[Article10|10]] [[Article11|11]] [[Article12|12]] [[Article13|13]] [[Article14|14]] [[Article15|15]] [[Article16|16]] [[Article17|17]] [[Article18|18]] [[Article19|19]] [[Article20|20]] [[Article21|21]] [[Article22|22]] [[Article23|23]] [[Article24|24]] [[Article25|25]] [[Article26|26]] [[Article27|27]] [[Article28|28]] [[Article29|29]] [[Article30|30]] [[Article31|31]] [[Article32|32]] [[Article33|33]] [[Article34|34]] [[Article35|35]] [[Article36|36]] [[Article37|37]] [[Article38|38]] [[Article39|39]] [[Article40|40]] [[Article41|41]] [[Article42|42]] [[Article43|43]] [[Article44|44]] [[Article45|45]] [[Article46|46]] [[Article47|47]] [[Article48|48]] [[Article49|49]] [[Article50|50]] [[Article51|51]] [[Article52|52]] [[Article53|53]] [[Article54|54]] [[Article55|55]] [[Article56|56]] [[Article57|57]] [[Article58|58]] [[Article59|59]] [[Article60|60]] [[Article61|61]] [[Article62|62]] [[Article63|63]] [[Article64|64]] [[Article65|65]] [[Article66|66]] [[Article67|67]] [[Article68|68]] [[Article69|69]] [[Article70|70]] [[Article71|71]] [[Article72|72]] [[Article73|73]] [[Article74|74]] [[Article75|75]] [[Article76|76]] [[Article77|77]] [[Article78|78]] [[Article79|79]] [[Article80|80]] [[Article81|81]] [[Article82|82]] [[Article83|83]] [[Article84|84]] [[Article85|85]] [[Article86|86]] [[Article87|87]] [[Article88|88]] [[Article89|89]] [[Article90|90]] | [[Glossary]] [[Appendices]] [[Constitution]] <>
