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

• 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

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.

IJE operates under an open access model to ensure entomology research is discoverable and reusable. APCs are applied after acceptance and support peer review, production, and archiving services.

Membership options and affordable APC waivers are available for eligible authors. Contact the editorial office at [email protected] for guidance.
