Founded in 1961, Zitteliana has been the journal of the Bavarian State Collection of Palaeontology and Geology Munich (Bayerische Staatssammlung für Paläontologie und Geologie München), formerly the "Mitteilungen der Bayerischen Staatssammlung für Paläontologie und historische Geologie", "Zitteliana A (Abhandlungen)", and "Zitteliana B (Mitteilungen)". Zitteliana is an open-access, online + print,
peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles, short contributions, and reviews on all aspects of palaeontology and geobiology. It welcomes research on all regions of the Earth and all periods of geologic time. The journal invites both modern and traditional research outputs, including palaeobiology, geobiology, palaeogenomics, biodiversity, stratigraphy, sedimentology, regional geology, systematics, phylogeny, and cross-disciplinary studies of these areas. Monographic contributions can be considered in justified exceptions, but require a permission to submit from the editor(s). A printed version of the journal will be produced in annual volumes. Zitteliana is one of the open-access publication platforms of the Bavarian Natural History Collections (Staatliche Naturwissenschaftliche Sammlungen Bayerns, SNSB).
