IJE prioritizes structured metadata and DOI registration to ensure entomology research is discoverable across scholarly platforms. Indexing helps findings reach researchers, public health teams, agriculture specialists, and conservation leaders who rely on validated evidence.

Our production workflow includes metadata validation and citation checks to improve discoverability and maintain long term accuracy.

IJE maintains core identifiers and metadata services that support reliable citation, cataloging, and discovery across platforms.

• ISSN registration for consistent journal identification
• DOI assignment and metadata registration via Crossref
• Google Scholar discoverability subject to inclusion and crawling guidelines
• OAI-PMH endpoint for metadata harvesting: https://openaccesspub.org/oai (oai_dc)

• Accurate author names, affiliations, and ORCID identifiers
• Funding sources, grant numbers, and conflict disclosures
• Structured abstracts with clear objectives and results
• Discipline specific keywords for insect science
• Complete references with DOIs where available

Authors should verify names, affiliations, funding statements, and dataset identifiers during proof review. Accurate proofs reduce post publication corrections and improve indexing accuracy.

Confirm that keywords and abstracts reflect final results and align with repository metadata.

Indexing updates: Coverage can vary by platform and may update over time. If you need verification for a specific database or reporting requirement, contact [email protected].

• Acceptance triggers metadata validation and DOI registration
• XML tagging ensures structured data for discovery systems
• Reference and citation checks align with Crossref standards
• Publication feeds update after final proofs are approved
• Post publication updates are applied when corrections occur

• Provide full taxonomic identification with authority, and reference voucher specimens or curated collections when applicable.
• Report life stage, sex, and developmental conditions for insects to support reproducibility and comparative analysis.
• Describe collection sites with coordinates, habitat description, and sampling period to contextualize ecological findings.
• When using traps or baits, specify trap type, exposure duration, and lure composition to enable replication.
• Include details on rearing conditions such as temperature, humidity, photoperiod, and diet formulations.
• If molecular methods are used, report primers, sequencing platforms, and quality control thresholds.
• For behavioral assays, describe acclimation periods, arena design, and observation windows.
• State how pesticide or control treatments were applied, including dose, timing, and formulation details.
• Include host plant or host organism identification when studying herbivory or vector interactions.
• Discuss environmental variables such as seasonality, land use, or climate that may influence outcomes.
• Report sample sizes, replication strategy, and statistical models used for inference.
• Describe biosecurity or containment procedures for invasive or quarantine species.
• When reporting pollinator studies, include floral resources, visitation metrics, and landscape context.

IJE is committed to rigorous, transparent publishing in entomological research. We emphasize reproducible methods, accurate taxonomy, and ethical compliance across all article types.

The editorial office supports authors, editors, and reviewers with clear guidance and responsive communication. For questions about scope or workflow, contact [email protected].

We encourage continuous improvement in reporting practices and share updates that help the community maintain high standards in insect science and arthropod research.
