I am having a version of Loeblich and Tappan's 1988 print. The publications seem to use both 1987 and 1988 as the year of publication. So out of these two years which should be referenced while preparing a manuscript, the version I am using or the first print version?
Check this paper: Loeblich, A.R. & H. Tappan 1989. Publication date of Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification. Journal of Paleontology 63: 253.
Hello Areen,
„Foraminiferal genera and their classification“ by Alfred Richard Loeblich and Helen Nina Tappan was published by Van Nostrand Reinhold in New York, NY with an imprint date of 1988 (= copyright year) ... Concerning a clarification by the authors/(publisher) in the „Journal of Palaeontology“ 63 (2): p. 253 the publication date (which is relevant following the ICZN) is December 22, 1987 ... a month before the publisher started to sell the volumes ....
All the new taxa introduced in the volumes mentioned above are therefore published in 1987 ...
Best wishes, Mike
