Guide for authors
Published under the aegis of the Association Paléontologique Française (APF) and created by Marcellin Boule in 1905, Annales de Paléontologie publishes 4 times a year, in French and English, articles concerning fossil plants and animals, in all fields of palaeontology: paleoanatomy, paleohistology, paleoichnology, functional morphology, systematics, evolution, paleoecology and any contribution likely to improve the knowledge of extinct organisms and environments.
These manuscripts must be in accordance with the instructions below. They are inspired by the standards of presentation of manuscripts proposed by the Harvard reference system.
Publication Rules
1. All manuscripts addressed to the journal are submitted to anonymous peer review. After any modifications deemed necessary, manuscripts must then be approved by the Editorial board for publication.
The Editorial Board reserves the right to publish a commentary concerning the article. This commentary will be addressed to the author with the galley proofs.
2. Manuscripts must not be submitted to another journal or previously published.
3. It is understood that by submitting a manuscript for publication in the journal that the work has been approved by all authors and also -- either explicitly or implicitly -- by the institutional authorities under which it was produced. If a manuscript is accepted for publication, it cannot be published again, either in the original language of publication or another language, without the express written consent of the publisher.
4. If the submitted manuscript includes extracts from other documents or publications covered by copyright, the authors must furnish written authorization for reproduction from the copyright owners and cite, in the submitted manuscript, the source of the original publication.
Ethics in publishing

Disclosure of interest
All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential competing interests include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Authors must disclose any interests in two places: 1. A summary declaration of interest statement in the manuscript file. If there are no interests to declare then please state this: 'Declarations of interest: none'. This summary statement will be ultimately published if the article is accepted. 2. Detailed disclosures as part of the ethical statement form, is important for potential interests to be declared in both places and that the information matches. More information.
Submission declaration and verification
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture or academic thesis, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright-holder. To verify originality, your article may be checked by the originality detection service Crossref Similarity Check.
Change to Authorship
Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the definitive list of authors at the time of the original submission. Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor. To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed.
Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted. While the Editor considers the request, publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the Editor will result in a corrigendum.
