Surprisingly few papers on cyanobacteria have been published in the International Bulletin of Bacteriological Nomenclature and Taxonomy / International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology / International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IBBNT/IJSB/IJSEM) during its 60 years of existence. The first papers featuring the group appeared in volume 28 and, in the 32 years that have passed since, 42 articles on cyanobacteria have been published in the journal. Very few of these papers deal with the description of new taxa and this is understandable in view of the current difficulty in validly publishing new names of cyanobacteria under the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP). Other papers discuss the problems of the nomenclature of the group under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN)/ICNP and the ICBN. The largest group of articles on cyanobacteria consists of papers on systematics, in which isolates are compared using different approaches, without any implications for the nomenclature of the group under either Code. The fact that on average these papers have been highly cited shows that IJSEM and its predecessors have been an excellent framework for publications on cyanobacteria and should remain so in the future.
在《国际细菌命名公报/国际系统与进化微生物学杂志》（IBBNT/IJSB/IJSEM）存在的 60 年间，发表的有关蓝藻的论文数量少得惊人。该小组的第一批论文出现在第 28 卷中，自那时起的 32 年中，该杂志共发表了 42 篇有关蓝藻的文章。其中很少有论文涉及新分类群的描述，考虑到目前根据《国际原核生物命名法规》（ICNP）有效发表蓝藻新名称的困难，这是可以理解的。其他论文讨论了该小组在《国际植物命名法规》（ICBN）/ICNP 和 ICBN 下的命名问题。有关蓝藻的最大一组文章是关于系统学的，其中使用不同方法比较分离物，而与两个法规下的该组的命名均无关联。这些论文平均被高度引用这一事实表明，IJSEM 及其前身一直是发表有关蓝藻的优秀框架，在未来也应如此。
