E = Elaphe German publication from the DGHT: focuses on captive husbandry and reproduction of reptiles and amphibians.
IR = International Reptilian European magazine, published in UK. It may alternatively be known as the Reptilian, but we have kept the IR abbreviation to distinguish it from Reptilia and Reptiles.

S = Salamandra German magazine published by the DGHT (German Herptological Association) in English and German. So far we have not added any articles from the magazine. The DGHT also publishes magazines for each of their specialist groups, eg Radiata (tortoises), Lacerta (lacertid lizards), etc. From 2005 Salamandra will be published in both English and German.
Si = Situla French-language herpetological magazine, also covering invertebrates
