Re: Looking for a quick-turnaround publication venue

[David Marjanovic <david.marjanovic@gmx.at>]

Contributions to Zoology treated our latest paper* exceedingly quickly. So 
quickly in fact that we had to submit a long list of changes after we got 
the page proofs, though admittedly most of them were because we hadn't quite 
understood the format -- the instructions to authors were out of date. And 
then of course the paper itself has 51 pages. So, in sum, I highly recommend 
this journal.

The opposite goes for the Journal of Paleontology, where my thesis 
supervisor had a paper sleeping for IIRC a year and a half between 
acceptance and publication.

you click on "archive" and then choose the current issue. It's not on 
dinosaurs, though, and not on turtles either.
