Recently I submitted a short note on botanical nomenclature to an esteemed Indian journal. Unfortunately the paper was rejected mainly because the reviewer found that the paper lacks any "typification novelty".
No. It depends on the problem you are addressing. If there is an association of the typification with the nomenclatural problem then possibly you will have to address the typification problem as well. Otherwise, a note addressing a particular nomenclatural problem (if there is no need for typification novelty) should be published even. Studying similar articles will help.
No. Last year, my article was also rejected. The typification is important information and must comply with the rules of nomenclature. But some editors claim it. I recommend studying articles on neotypification and lectotypification.
