The recent publication of an alternative nomenclatural code that targets prokaryotes, the Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes Described from DNA Sequence Data (SeqCode), raises questions about how to treat names 'validly published' under that code in the (IJSEM). Here, it is reiterated that the IJSEM must function in accordance with the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP). It is also reiterated that the ICNP covers all prokaryotes and that it accordingly assigns a nomenclatural status to all names of prokaryotic taxa. This implies that the ICNP also assigns a status to names that are only 'validly published' under the SeqCode. It follows that the IJSEM must treat such names as not validly published, since 'validly published under the SeqCode' is not a nomenclatural status, under the ICNP. Such names should be marked accordingly as names or printed in quotation marks. The same measures would need to be taken by other journals which intend to adhere to the ICNP.
最近发布了一种针对原核生物的替代命名法,即《基于DNA序列数据描述的原核生物命名法(SeqCode)》,这引发了关于如何处理在该命名法下 “有效发表” 的名称在《国际系统与进化微生物学杂志》(IJSEM)中的问题。在此重申,IJSEM必须按照《国际原核生物命名法》(ICNP)运作。还重申ICNP涵盖所有原核生物,并因此为所有原核生物分类单元的名称赋予命名地位。这意味着ICNP也为仅在SeqCode下 “有效发表” 的名称赋予地位。因此,IJSEM必须将此类名称视为未有效发表,因为根据ICNP,“在SeqCode下有效发表” 不是一种命名地位。此类名称应相应地标记为无效名称或用引号印刷。其他打算遵守ICNP的期刊也需要采取同样的措施。
