European Journal of Entomology

General

The European Journal of Entomology (EJE) is an international journal covering the whole field of general, experimental, systematic and applied entomology. Manuscripts generally should not exceed 30 pages (exceptions are possible, particularly in case of reviews, and should be negotiated in advance with the editors). Papers are considered by referees before acceptance. Authors will receive first editorial decision within 8 weeks from confirmed submission. All contributions are published in English. Authors whose mother tongue is not English are strongly urged to have their manuscripts reviewed linguistically before submission. Papers written in poor English will be returned. It is understood that manuscripts submitted to EJE have not been offered to any other journal for prior or simultaneous publication.

Scope

EJE publishes original articles, points of view and reviews on all aspects of entomology. There are no restrictions on geographic region or taxon (Myriapoda, Chelicerata and terrestrial Crustacea included). Comprehensive studies and comparative/experimental approach will be preferred  and the following types of manuscripts will be usually declined:

1. Descriptive alpha-taxonomic studies unless the paper is markedly comprehensive/revisional taxonomically or regionally, and/or significantly improves our knowledge of comparative morphology, relationships or biogeography of the higher taxon concerned.
2. Other purely descriptive papers [(ultra)structural and functional details, life histories, geographical distribution, etc.] unless they concern data or taxa of particular phylogenetic interest.
3. Papers evaluating the effect of chemicals, irradiation, or dealing with data of agro-economic impact without general entomological relevance.

Authors must respect the articles of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Fourth Edition, 1999) and its relevant recommendations, particularly Recommendation 16C concerning the deposition of name-bearing types in appropriate institutions.

Proofs and page charges

Proofs will be sent to the authors for correction. No page charges are levied for articles up to 20 printed pages. Authors (particularly those with institutional support) are expected to pay EUR 25 for each printed page exceeding 20. One colour page is printed gratis, EUR 100 is charged for each additional page containing colour artwork. A PDF file is supplied free of charge. Reprints or free PDF access can be ordered at cost when you return your page proof (late orders of reprints cannot be accepted). Prices can be found here. Manuscripts of both published and rejected papers and originals of illustrations are not returned, unless requested.
