This week, we will discuss a paper that claims to refute the observation that taxonomic papers receive a low citation rate, compared with papers in related fields, such as phylogenetics:

Steiner FM, Pautasso M, Zettel H, Moder K, Arthofer W, Schlick-Steiner BC. 2015. A falsification of the citation impediment in the taxonomic literature. Syst Biol 64: 860-68

Meet at 5:30 pm in the Fellows Bar area, University House, in either Forrest Room (off the bar) or Graduate Lounge (off the dining room).

Coopers and Cladistics is a long-running evolutionary biology discussion group held every second Thursday at University House, ANU. Please contact Mike Crisp if you would like to be included on the C&C email list.
