Peer reviewed open access journal
Scope Alignment
Insect ecology, systematics, behavior, pest management, vector biology, and pollinator health. We prioritize validated field and laboratory methods.
Publishing Model
Open access, single blind peer review, and rapid publication after acceptance and production checks. Metadata validation and DOI registration are included.
International Journal of Entomology invites high quality submissions across insect biology, ecology, systematics, and applied entomology. We welcome original research, reviews, and methods papers that deliver validated evidence and clear implications for science or practice.
Our editorial priorities focus on rigor, transparent reporting, and relevance to insect science. Submissions should explain how findings advance biodiversity knowledge, pest management, or vector control.
- Insect ecology, population dynamics, and community interactions
- Systematics, taxonomy, and phylogenetics
- Vector biology and disease transmission
- Integrated pest management and resistance monitoring
- Pollinator health, ecosystem services, and conservation
- Insect behavior, chemical ecology, and communication
- Insect genomics, physiology, and developmental biology
- Biological control, parasitoids, and microbial interactions
- Entomology in agriculture, forestry, and urban systems
Original Research
Field or laboratory studies with validated entomological outcomes.
Systematic Reviews
Evidence syntheses that clarify insect science or management impact.
Methods and Tools
Novel sampling, identification, or analytical workflows with benchmarking.
- Short communications reporting high impact findings
- Technical notes on monitoring, diagnostics, or control
- Taxonomic notes and curated datasets with voucher links
- Perspectives on policy, conservation, or emerging threats
Successful submissions present a clear research question, robust sampling design, and transparent statistical reporting. We value studies that demonstrate reproducibility and relevance to insect science or applied outcomes.
Authors should explain novelty, document specimen identification, and connect findings to ecological or management implications.
- Clear taxonomic identification and voucher information
- Sampling methods and field context reported in detail
- Validation against established benchmarks or controls
- Appropriate statistical methods with effect sizes
Open Access Visibility
Research is accessible to scientists, practitioners, and policy teams worldwide.
Single Blind Peer Review
Expert reviewers evaluate rigor while maintaining editorial oversight.
Metadata and DOI Support
Structured metadata improves discoverability and citation tracking.
Editorial Guidance
Actionable feedback strengthens reporting quality.
Submissions undergo editorial screening for scope fit, study design quality, and data transparency. Qualified manuscripts move to single blind peer review with subject matter experts.
| Stage | Typical Timing | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Screening | 1 to 2 weeks | Scope fit and compliance checks |
| Peer Review | 3 to 6 weeks | Methodology rigor and impact |
| Revision | 2 to 4 weeks | Author responses and refinements |
| Production | 2 to 3 weeks | Copyediting, proofs, DOI registration |
