Dealing with Taxonomic Vandalism
As one of the architects of the Positive List of journals (and other relevant works) established by the Australian Society of Herpetologists, I outline here why I think it is a good idea. A Positive List distinguishes between science and non-science and may well put an end to the taxonomic instability that arises from the publication of poorly supported species descriptions promulgated outside the peer-reviewed scientific literature. Time will tell.
