The Paläontologische Zeitschrift is the official publication of the Paläontologische Gesellschaft (German Palaeontological Association) and as thus aims to promote all aspects of the science of Palaeontology. The journal welcomes papers on all aspects of palaeontology, including Palaeozoology, Palaeobotany, Palaeoecology, Palaeogeography, Geobiology, theoretical and methodological aspects of palaeontological research, and contributions from related fields (e.g. biology) if relevant to palaeontology. Both high quality original research papers and review articles are welcome. Topical volumes presenting a collection of papers on a specific topic can also be proposed.

SJR
The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from
It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document
This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

External Cites per Doc Cites per Doc
Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years.
External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
