About the journal

About the Journal

The European Journal of Entomology was founded in 1904 as a periodical of the Czech Entomological Society (under the title Acta Societatis Entomologicae Bohemiae). Since then it has made a long and varied way, including several title changes, from its beginnings as a local publication, with articles mainly in Czech, to its status today as a fairly well-established international entomological forum covered in the most important abstracting and indexing services.

This would be quite inconceivable without the help of our many collaborators. We are much indebted to all those who have been helpful in so many ways, especially in reviewing papers. Our thanks are due to the members of the Editorial Board, past and present, but also to numerous scientists with no particular connection to our journal, who nevertheless responded readily to our request to review a paper.

We would also like to make an open invitation to all potential contributors. We do our best to process submissions promptly, and to evaluate them strictly but fairly. There are no restrictions regarding the subject, author, geographic region, and so on, of any submission. All which fall within the broadest bounds of the field entomology (including Myriapoda, Chelicerata, and terrestrial Crustacea) are appropriate. Nevertheless, we prefer comprehensive analytic papers in which the insect is the main object of interest, not merely a testing tool. In 2016, EJE became an electronic-only Open Access journal with all papers (including all previous volumes) freely available online.

The heteropteran Pyrrhocoris apterus, our cover insect, was introduced as a model species by European entomologists. It has now become a link between quite diverse entomological disciplines, and has played a part in some events of worldwide significance (beginning with the discovery of the juvenile hormone analogs). We believe that as such it is a faithful symbol of the European Journal of Entomology.

General

The European Journal of Entomology (EJE) is an international electronic-only Open Access 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, reviews and points of view 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 or predominantly descriptive or enumerative papers [such as (ultra)structural and functional details, life tables, host records, distributional records and faunistic surveys, compiled check lists, etc.] unless they are exceptionally comprehensive or concern data or taxa of particular entomological (e.g., phylogenetic) interest.
  3. Papers evaluating the effect of chemicals (including pesticides, plant extracts, attractants or repellents, etc.), irradiation, pathogens, or dealing with other data of predominantly agro-economic impact without general entomological relevance.

Authors must respect the articles of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Fourth Edition, 1999); additional requirements and recommendations for authors or taxonomic papers can be found here.

Proofs and charges

Proofs will be sent to the authors for correction. Articles are freely available on our web site. Authors of accepted papers are required to pay a publication fee which helps to cover part of the publishing costs. The fee will be waived in invited articles. Current prices can be found here.

Prices

The European Journal of Entomology is an electronic-only Open Access periodical whose articles are freely available on the journal’s web site. Authors of accepted papers are required to pay a publication fee of 160.- Euro (irrespective of the article length or number of colour figures). This fee helps to cover part of the publishing costs. The fee will be waived in invited articles. In exceptional cases the fee may be waived for highly interesting papers whose authors have no institutional support. Such exception has to be negotiated in advance before submission and the paper should not acknowledge any institutional or external financial support. This waiver depends entirely upon the decision of the publisher.

Although this journal no longer appears in printed form, we can provide high-quality digitally printed reprints. The authors will pay 1 Euro per printed page, minimum order is 10 reprints. For example, 10 reprints of a paper with 8 pages will cost 80.- Euro (before VAT) incl. handling and air mail postage. If you need reprints, please order them when returning the proof (later orders are also possible).


Instructions to Authors

Preparation of manuscript

Heading: Give title, full name(s) of author(s) [surname(s) in capital letters], and place of work with full address including e-mail address if available, each on a separate line. Title should omit authors of taxa and years of description, and, where appropriate, should contain names of higher taxa accommodating the insects under study, typically order and family, e.g., (Diptera: Muscidae).

Key words: Select a set of key words (index terms). The set should be complete (i.e., words from the title should be repeated if considered index terms).

The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper and indicate the relevance of the work. Adopt standard scientific nomenclature, avoid abbreviations and quotations. Abstracts of taxonomic papers should mention all nomenclatural acts and list newly proposed nominal taxa.

The standard order of sections for original papers is: Introduction, Material and methods, Results, Discussion (the last two sections may be combined), Acknowledgements, References, Footnotes, Tables, Figure legends. Use footnotes sparingly, and number them consecutively throughout the text. Each genus- and species-group name mentioned should appear at least once (preferably when first used, or in Material and methods) in connection with its author (plus year of description in taxonomic papers), but do not quote the author on each occasion. Do not abbreviate authors’ names. Interpret specimen labels and geographical data consistently throughout the paper, using current spelling of geographical names. If for some reason (primary types or other important specimens, difficult interpretation, incomplete data) you want to quote a label, place these data between quotation marks. Use British Standard System for the transliteration of Cyrillic characters (available from the editors on request).

References: (a) Within the text: Tröster (1990); (Lawrence, 1992); Brothers & Finnamore (1993); Enghoff et al. (1993). All publications referred to in the text (including synonymical lists of taxonomic papers) must be cited in full in the list of references. (b) Under References: Put authors in alphabetical sequence, with multiple papers of the same author arranged chronologically. Cite up to 10 authors (followed by “et al.” if the publication has more than 10 authors) and full title. Do not capitalize authors’ names. In journal articles, separate title and journal’s name by an m-dash (—) (see examples below). Abbreviate names of periodicals basically according to the World List of Scientific Periodicals, 4th Edition, Butterworths, London, 1964–1965 (if you are not certain about the correct abbreviation, give the journal’s name in full). Examples:

1. Standard paper in a continuously paginated journal; give issue number (in parentheses following volume) if each issue is paginated separately:

Enghoff H., Dohle W. & Blower J.G. 1993: Anamorphosis in millipedes (Diplopoda) – the present state of knowledge with some developmental and phylogenetic considerations. — Zool. J. Linn. Soc. 109: 103–234.

2. Papers from journals in which each article is paginated separately:

Tröster G. 1990: Der Kopf von Hybophthirus notophallus (Neumann) (Phthiraptera: Anoplura). Eine funktionsmorphologische und konsequent-phylogenetische Analyse. — Stuttg. Beitr. Naturk. (A) No. 442, 89 pp.

Number of pages is required also for online journals which do not include pages in their own suggested citation mode:

Regier J.C., Mitter C., Zwick A., Bazinet A.L., Cummings M.P., Kawahara A.Y., Sohn J.-C., Zwickl D.J., Cho S., Davis D.R. et al. 2013: A large-scale, higher-level, molecular phylogenetic study of the insect order Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies). — PLoS ONE 8(3): e58568, 23 pp.

3. In a book citation, capitalize words in title, give publisher (or “By the author” if self-published), place and number of pages:

Lawrence P.A. 1992: The Making of a Fly. The Genetics of Animal Design. Blackwell Scientific, Cambridge, MA, 228 pp.

4. Cite a book chapter as follows:

Brothers D.J. & Finnamore A.T. 1993: Superfamily Vespoidea. In Goulet H. & Huber J.T. (eds): Hymenoptera of the World: An Identification Guide to Families. Agriculture Canada, Ottawa, pp. 161–278.

5. Conference proceedings/articles should be cited as books/book chapters (i.e., with editors if stated on the publication, publisher and place), not as periodicals:

Wolf K.W & Bastmeyer M. 1990: Double spermatogenesis in Lepidoptera: Strain-specific differences in the apyrene meiosis of Ephestia kuehniella Z. In Hoshi M. & Yamashita O. (eds): Advances in Invertebrate Reproduction 5. Proceedings of the Fifth International Congress of Invertebrate Reproduction, Nagoya, Japan, July 23-28, 1989. Elsevier, Amsterdam, New York, Oxford, pp. 523–529.

6. Unpublished theses should be cited as follows:

Marinoni R.C. 1979: Contribuição a Sistemática de Lamiinae (Cerambycidae, Coleoptera). Unpublished doctoral thesis, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba, vi+147 pp.

7. Titles of publications in languages other than English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian should be replaced by an English translation, with an explanatory note at the end, such as [in Chinese, English abstract]:

Ivanova-Kazas O.M. 1981: Comparative Embryology of Invertebrate Animals. Atelocerata. Nauka, Moscow, 208 pp. [in Russian].

8. Web sites should be preferably avoided as source of cited data because the material is unpublished, may change frequently and the sites often do not backup/provide access to previous versions. Cite respectable well-established online data sources as follows. When author(s)/editor(s) are available (if the source appears in clearly defined numbered versions, you can provide just a general link to the entire site and the date of last access is not required):

Aarvik L.E. 2013: Tortricidae. In Karsholt O. & Nieukerken E.J. van (eds): Lepidoptera, Moths. Fauna Europaea Version 2.6.2. URL: http://www.faunaeur.org.

When author(s) are not available (e.g., if the site is maintained by the user community - please avoid citing such sources unless you have very strong reasons to do so) and/or the source does not appear in clearly defined numbered versions:

Biological Library 2016: Family Longhorn Beetles, Cerambycidae Latreille, 1802. URL: http://www.biolib.cz/en/taxon/id10991/ (last accessed 4 Jan. 2016).

Use italics as follows: In the text: Latin names of taxa up to the genus level (but not other Latin words or abbreviations such as “et al.”, “s. str.” etc.). In the References: Latin names of taxa, names of periodicals and titles of books. If your software has that option, use the Small Capitals typeface for author names in the list of references (but never type them in capitals from your keyboard).

When preparing illustrations and tables, please consider the journal’s page size, which is 170x247 mm, column width 82.5 mm. Illustrations (including graphs) and their caption or legends should form a separate, fully self-explanatory unit. Explain abbreviations in the legends, or (if too numerous) collect them elsewhere in a list (preferably under Material and methods). Do not use very fine lines or dots in drawings that are to be significantly reduced (in computer lineart files, lines and dots should be at least three pixels wide at print size). Illustrate fine details separately sufficiently enlarged and do not include them in overviews which must then be printed oversized. Illustrations should be arranged into blocks or plates by the authors. Use pre-printed or computer lettering of sufficient size to permit reduction. Photographic prints are best submitted at the actual size of reproduction. If the editors are to insert the final lettering, indicate your requirements on a printed copy. Morphological illustrations (if not schematic) should include scale bars. Tables should include headings and explanations, and should be numbered consecutively. Approximate position of figures and tables should be indicated in the manuscript. References in the text to illustrations and tables: Fig. 1; Figs 1–3; Table 1.

Submission

Manuscripts for review should be always submitted through our electronic submission system. The text part should be preferably in an editable form (not PDF); please switch on text line numbering to make the work easier for our reviewers. The final text accepted for publication must be supplied in an editable electronic form (preferably accompanied by a PDF file with all fonts embedded to ensure that uncommon characters are typeset correctly). Rich Text Format (.RTF) or MS Word (.DOC or .DOCX) files are suitable editable formats. Format the text as simply as possible and do not try to match the journal’s appearance, we will completely reformat all accepted papers and remove all formatting options except for italics and small capitals.

If possible, final graphics for publication should be provided in an electronic form in some common bitmap graphic format, such as Tagged Image File Format (.TIF). Non-bitmap graphic files are generally not accepted (if you really need to submit some graphics in vector form, please negotiate the format in advance with the editorial office). Never submit graphics imported into a word processor or presentation format (e.g., as .DOC or .PPT files). Required modes and minimum resolutions for bitmap graphic files: Colour in 24-bit RGB mode, 300–400 dpi at print size; halftones in 8-bit grayscale mode, 300–400 dpi at print size; line art in 1-bit black-and-white mode, preferably 1,200 dpi (and not less than 600 dpi for schemes, graphs, etc.) at print size. “Print size” refers to the journal’s page size which is 170x247 mm, column width 82.5 mm. See here for additional information about submitting computer graphics. Original artwork may be required for best publishing quality.
