Publications Home

The Museum of Texas Tech University provides several outlets for publishing scholarly works, including Occasional Papers of the Museum, Special Publications of the Museum, and Museology.  These publications typically are focused on museum-based research and involve specimens that are archived in accredited museums. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, taxonomic and systematic studies, faunal lists, species descriptions, zoonoses, distributional records, and field and museum techniques and methodology, including molecular methods that are applicable to field or museum research.  Publication in the museum series is available to all authors without regard to their association to Texas Tech University. Authors who plan to submit manuscripts to these series should refer to the Guidelines for Authors for more information.

Special Publications of the Museum

This series is composed of book-length publications resulting from major studies (> 32 pages). Owing to the large size of these items, their complete text typically is not available online. Abstracts and/or introductory texts are planned for inclusion here in the near future. Special publications are available for purchase (see ordering information).
