ABOUT THE
PROCEEDINGS OF THE DESERT FISHES COUNCIL / SOBRE LOS PROCEDIMIENTOS DEL CONSEJO
DE PECES DEL DESIERTO
It is the policy of the Council to select and
publish in the annual Proceedings of the Desert Fishes Council abstracts,
discussion summaries, business items, resolutions, and other material submitted
and presented at the Annual Symposium. All contributions are subject to
editorial review and are published following technical editing and automated
electronic processing to standardize format. Resolutions are published exactly
as passed by the membership in the business meeting of the Annual Symposium.
The Proceedings Translation Committee provides original translations of
abstracts in English when translations are not provided by authors, and edits
all Spanish abstracts provided by authors. The Translation Committee reserves
the right to edit abstracts in one language to improve grammar and clarity
before translating to the other language, but accepts full responsibility for
errors in translations for abstracts they translate. The Proceedings are normally
published and delivered to all members of the Desert Fishes Council and
subscribing libraries in the year following the Annual Symposium.
