孢粉學最早發表于1977年，現在是一份完善的國際期刊，涵蓋了有機微化石科學的所有方面，以及它們的現代同行。我們接受關于前第四紀和第四紀孢粉學和古植物學的論文。歡迎文章橫跨整個范圍的孢粉質組和地質年齡。在這門學科的傳統方面的貢獻，以及孢粉學的更新穎的用途，都被積極鼓勵。在實際孢粉學、考古孢粉學、生物地層學、花學史、法醫學孢粉學、土壤孢粉學、分類學等方面均有較好的稿件。此外，書評、評論文章、方法學論文和短篇專著都屬于本期刊的范圍。高質量的說明性材料一直是孢粉學的一個特點。

Palynology was first published in 1977, and is now is a well-established, international journal covering all aspects of the science of organic microfossils and their modern counterparts. We accept papers on both pre-Quaternary and Quaternary palynology, and palaeobotany. Articles across the entire range of palynomorph groups and geological ages are welcomed. Contributions on both the traditional aspects of the subject, and the more novel uses of palynology, are all actively encouraged. We accept suitable manuscripts on, for example, actuopalynology, archaeological palynology, biostratigraphy, floral history, forensic palynology, mellitopalynology and taxonomy. Additionally, book reviews, review articles, papers on methodology and short monographs would all fall within the scope of this journal. The high quality of illustrative material has always been a characteristic of Palynology .
