Scope/Description:

MycoKeys is a peer-reviewed, open-access, online and print, rapidly published and disseminated journal launched to accelerate research and free information exchange in taxonomy, phylogeny, biogeography, evolution and ecology of fungi (including lichens). MycoKeys aims to apply the latest trends and methodologies in publishing and preservation of digital materials to meet the highest possible standards of the cybertaxonomy era. MycoKeys will publish papers on the monophyletic kingdom Fungi containing taxonomic or ecological data on any taxon of any geological age from any part of the world with no limit to manuscript size. MycoKeys will consider for publishing works on the following topics: -descriptions of new taxa, if they are accompanied with proper diagnoses and/or keys to distinguish them from close relatives or similar taxa, and if DNA sequence data are deposited in Genbank prior to publication (few possible exceptions from this rule are listed inthe section Taxonomic Treatments). All new taxa need to be registered at Mycobank and the registration numbers indicated in the manuscript. New taxa should ideally be described in connection with a phylogenetic analysis or evidence that the barcode gene (ITS) is unique for the new taxon. -taxonomic revisions of extant (or ''recent'') and fossil fungal groups -checklists and catalogues -phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses, if alignments are deposited in TreeBase (with accession number listed in the text). -papers in descriptive and/or historical biogeography -methodology papers, including description of new software, if released a open source license and released as supplementary material to the article. -data mining and literature surveys -monographs, conspecti, atlases -primer notes -"Points of View" commentaries -collections of papers, Festschrift volumes, conference proceedings -data papers (datesets published as supplementary files and through the GBIF or Barcode of Life infrastructures
