Our Top 10

Before the publication of ZooKeys 500 we will publish Top 10 charts for our most famous species, most published taxa and most prolific authors, editors and reviewers. Keep an eye on this page to see if your name or species will pop among the top 10! We also have exciting prizes in store for the winners as a thank you for their support and loyalty over the years.

Follow us on Twitter and keep an eye on #ZooKeys500 for the charts and latest updates!

Our Top 10 will be announced on the Pensoft website, and through our Facebook and Google+ accounts.

Win a ZooKeys T-shirt

As a special gift to celebrate ZooKeys 500 we will give out ZooKeys T-shirts or a beautiful All-In-Forms artwork of their favorite taxon to all submitting authors who submit their manuscript in the journal during the week of publication of our jubilee issue - 27 April - 1 May 2015.

We look forward to your submissions! 

Our Twitter game

Here is what our #ZooKeys500 Twitter game all about!

  • You tweet a selfie with your favourite animal. It doesn’t need to show you with a live animal. It could also be with an exhibition cast, collection specimen, printed image or even an image on a computer screen! All allowed!
  • Add the #ZooKeys500 or our Twitter account @ZooKeys_journal to your tweet so we see you
  • You can tweet away from today (27 April 2015) until Friday inclusive (1 May 2015)
  • We will choose the three most creative selfies and announce them on Mon 4 May 2015  
  • The winners get to choose their prize from our "I love ZooKeys" T-shirts or the beautiful All-In-Forms artworks by Slavena Peneva

We can’t wait to see your selfies!

Good luck and be creative!

A short summary of ZooKeys achievements

On the frontline of taxonomy

  • From its start in July 2008 till 27 April 2015, the journal will have published 2436 articles and 65938 pages altogether
  • Since then we published altogether 5973 new taxa, of which 5565 new species or subspecies, 382 genera and 26 families
  • ZooKeys has also made its way to the top 10 journals publishing the greatest number of new taxa in Zoology, currently at a second ranked place in Thomson Reuters’ Index of Organism names with 7% of all organism published names ever!

Embracing new technologies

ZooKeys was the first journal ever to:

  • Implement semantic tagging and enhancements of taxonomic articles (since ZooKeys 50, 2010)
  • Gather real time information from the Web about any taxon name at the click of a button via the Pensoft Taxon Profile (PTP)
  • Automate export of species descriptions and other taxon treatments to data aggregators (EOL, Plazi, Species ID) on the day of publication
  • Simultaneously map published occurrence records by selection of all or some taxon treatment
  • Convert taxon treatments into Wiki versions on Species-ID
  • Introduce data publishing in taxonomy and elaborate the data paper concept and workflow together with GBIF
  • Develop a concept of publishing of online identification keys and biodiversity software descriptions
  • Implement the TaxPub schema (developed by Plazi) and archive all ZooKeys content in PubMedCentral
  • Mandatory register all new taxa in ZooBank and automate the whole registration process via software tool since 2013 (together with ZooBank)
  • Put special effort in PR and promotion for taxonomy and biodiversity informatics
