Our Origin: Edit Consortium:
Objectives of the European Distributed Institution of Taxonomy
- Coordination of Taxonomy in Europe into one coherent and ambitious
European Research strategy
- To optimize CETAF facilities
- To disseminate and share results will all major international initiatives
and organisations

3. o Development of recommendations related to access, dissemination and
discoverability of taxonomic information published by NHI’s:
– to the publishing level in EDIT institutions
– to the EDIT Steering Committee and Board of Directors
o Buisness plan of an European journal dedicated to descriptive taxonomy

concerning our journals: some of us have stopped printing
journals and/or publish a digital version; others are considering
merging their journal into the new EJT.
