KILLI-DATA WASSUP

 

Since 2018, Killi-Data News (K-D N), has been replaced by a lighter newsletter to members, named Killi-Data Wassup informally and irregularly distributed that contains a selection of research output as a PDF, plus editorial and a view from the chair discussing major issues in applying research output into name-focused Killi-Data. 

Killi-Data Wassup is a new service of information to members as a follow-up of Killi-Data News.

  • It is rather in line with K-D informal letters sent to members back in 2004, and actually it is quite different from Killi-Data News:

    It does not aim to be comprehensive of whole Killifish research output (it presents only a subjective selection of articles, primarily those being coherent with Killi-Data focus on names, systematics and nomenclature)
  • It is not regular (it will be produced when time permits and when a significant number of articles is published, not too many articles so that the reading is short, not too few articles so that the service is real and not too frequent)
  • It separates clearly, the "selection of publications" with (1) a full neutral synthesis for each major publication, (2) a quick snapshot of contents for other publications, (3) the results of new collecting trips, AND, within a paragraph titled "View from the chair", personal, but impartial and balanced comments raised from some of those selected publications IN VIEW OF THE TRANSLATION OF THEIR RESULTS INTO Killi-Data, and not as opinions or judgments on the quality of those research papers
  • It mentions for each "selected publication" (listed as last-in first-out) the source and importantly a link to abstract online, but not the full reference (which is anyway online)
  • It does not contain each time an Editorial but it may also contain a “Guest Editorial” from key experts from time to time

Killi-Data Wassup is not a published document (there is no ISSN number).
Hence please note the following disclaimers and limited responsibility:

  • This publication is disclaimed for purposes of Zoological Nomenclature, in accordance with I.C.Z.N. code, 4th edition, articles 8.3 and 8.4.
  • No new names, or nomenclature changes are available from statements in this publication.
  • No systematic changes may be purported from statements in this publication.
  • No statements in this publication may be quoted in any other media without prior formal permission.
  • The section titled "View from the Chair" in this publication contains no criticism (and obviously no offense) whatsoever to authors by any means.
  • This publication only aims to disseminate the results of selected new research works and their analyses, as possible improvements of scientific knowledge on cyprinodontiformes fishes.

By no means, attached comments-analyses are designed to purport critics to the publication or to the author(s) : Killifish are too difficult to study and researchers are too few to justify such critics.
Killiflash, K-D W and K-D N are just tools to disseminate the new findings quickly and to stimulate even more new research works !

Each KILLIFLASH, K-D W and K-D N contains or links to copyrighted documents that cannot be printed without permission and that cannot be freely published online.
