Description
This paper was written by nine authors from five continents, and supported by a further 80 academics and many major herpetological societies including the World Congress of Herpetology, in reaction to burgeoning number of species descriptions being published in herpetology by a small number of individuals through their own self-published "journals" which lack any peer-review.
