Sauropods of the Mesozoic Era

16th January 2008

In September 2005, my son Danny, then aged seven, decided to write a paper about sauropods. I corrected his spelling, but otherwise left the prose exactly as he wrote it. Here it is:

• Taylor, Daniel J. 2005. Sauropods of the Mesozoic Era. Journal of Dinosaurs 1(1): 1-2.

As exemplary as this paper was, though, it was necessary to put it through the process of peer-review, so:

• I submitted it on his behalf.

Randy Irmis, the editor, it out to two reviewers. Here are their reviews:

• Darren Naish's review
• Matt Wedel's review

And so, happily for posterity:

• the manuscript was accepted.
