《古世界》是一份同行評議的季刊，致力于古生物學和地層學的研究，以中國和周邊地區為重點。我們鼓勵提交化石研究和地層學各方面的原創作品，將區域數據與世界其他地區在時間和空間上進行比較，并報告相關學科領域跨學科調查的結果。有些問題將完全集中于一個特別的主題，而另一些問題將由投稿的文章組成。古世界致力于為地球科學和古生物學研究人員提供廣泛的服務，并為進化生物學、歷史地質學、古海洋學、古生物學、系統學、分類學和科學史等領域的學生提供資源。古世界在以下領域發表原創文章:?所有化石群的系統和分類學研究?生物地層學、化學地層學年代地層學?古生態學、古環境和地球歷史上的全球變化?生物進化的節奏和模式?地球歷史上重大的生物事件(如滅絕、輻射)?生態系統進化?分子古生物學?古生物學和地層學方法?跨學科研究，側重化石和地層古世界接受下列類別的貢獻:?原始技術研究論文和案例研究?評論文章(通常邀請)?關于主題的文章集合?短筆記?給編輯的信?書評

Palaeoworld is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal dedicated to studies in palaeontology and stratigraphy with a focus on China and surrounding regions. We encouraging submission of original works on all aspects of fossil studies and stratigraphy, comparisons of regional data with other areas in time and space worldwide, and the reporting of results generated by interdisciplinary investigations in related subject fields. Some issues will be devoted entirely to a special theme whereas others will be composed of contributed articles. Palaeoworld is dedicated to serving a broad spectrum of geoscience and palaeobiological researchers as well as serving as a resource for students in fields as diverse as evolutionary biology, historical geology, palaeoceanography, palaeobiology, systematics, taxonomy, and the history of science.Palaeoworld publishes original articles in the following areas:?Systematic and taxonomic studies of all fossil groups?Biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy?Palaeoecology, palaeoenvironment and global changes throughout Earth history?Tempo and mode of biological evolution?Significant biological events in Earth history (e.g., extinctions, radiations)?Ecosystem evolution?Molecular palaeontology?Palaeontological and stratigraphic methods?Interdisciplinary studies focusing on fossils and strataPalaeoworld accepts the following categories of contributions:?Original technical research papers and case studies?Review articles (normally invited)?Collections of articles on a theme?Short notes?Letters to the Editors?Book reviews
