David Marjanovic (david.marjanovic@gmx.at) cited: <5.1. The publication date is the date on which publication, as defin= ed in Article 4, took place. More specifically, it is the date on which th= e=20 publisher or publisher's agent delivered the printed matter to a carr= ier for distribution to the public. In the absence of proof establishing = some other date, the one appearing in the publication itself must be accep= ted as correct.> 1. If this is held true, the publication _Palaeontologica Electroni= ca_ cannot be held to have a published date, as there is not date the "pr= inted matter" was delivered to an receptacle.=20 2. There is no clause as to conflicting dates of release (as noted,= the _JVP_ article as well as a 1994 issue of the _Canadian Journal of Ear= th Sciences_ were printed with the original, but erroneous, date they _w= ere_ to be released).=20 Perhaps a clause of "If two or more conflicting dates cited for publication of an article or other publication are present, that date which is most recent is held to be the valid date of publication, unl= ess otherwise stated." 3. _Naturwissenschaften_ publishes taxonomy digitally ahead of the = print release, and Springer-Verlag has made a point of noting that the digi= tal release is the VALID one for such issues, and that the rpint issue is merely the conventional release form of the publication. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Jaime A.
