About the journal
Aims and Scope
Entomological Science is the official English language journal of the Entomological Society of Japan. The Journal publishes original research papers and reviews from any entomological discipline or from directly allied fields in ecology, behavioral biology, physiology, biochemistry, development, genetics, systematics, morphology, evolution and general entomology.
Instructions to Authors
Author Guidelines
Authors wishing to submit manuscripts to Entomological Science should read these instructions carefully before preparing their manuscripts. They are also recommended to consult the following reference: Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers, Sixth Edition, CBE Style Manual Committee, 1994, Cambridge University Press.
MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND STANDARD
Manuscripts may be submitted as research papers or review articles. Research papers should be the product of original scientific research or observation, and are classed as either short or long communications. Short communications should have the main body of the text no longer than two printed pages.
All manuscripts, including short communications, should include a discussion of the significance of the results and their relationship to other work, and will be reviewed by at least two referees. Manuscripts will be considered for publication only if they have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.
FORMAT AND PREPARATION
Manuscripts should be written so that they are intelligible to the professional reader who is not a specialist in the particular field. They should be written in English, in a clear, concise, direct style. Where contributions are judged as acceptable for publication on the basis of scientific content, the Editor and the Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and improve communication between author and reader.
All manuscripts should be prepared following these Instructions for Authors. The manuscript must be on A4 size pages (using only one side of each page), in 12 or 14 pt font size, double spaced, and with all margins of more than 30 mm. Authors can submit their manuscripts as hard copy or electronically (as email attached files) at their own responsibility to the Editorial Office at the address below. Manuscript receipt will normally be acknowledged within a week of receipt at the Editorial Office. Hard copy manuscripts should be in duplicate, accompanied by a 2HD Windows-formatted disk or CD containing only the relevant file(s). Text, figure legends and/or tables should be saved in a single file (MS Word or RTF). Figures in digital files at submission of manuscripts should be as small as possible in size even if their resolution is relatively low (e.g. PDF, Power Point or MS Word). These files are not for printing but for review, and file names should include the names of the author(s), contain only alphanumeric characters, and be without spaces. Authors who are unable to prepare figures in such digital files may submit figures as hard copy alone. Original figures should not be submitted until the manuscript has been accepted for publication.
The manuscript should start with the title of the paper, followed by the names of the authors, the addresses of the institutions at which the work was carried out, an abstract, key words and the main body of text. The abstract should be a concise summary (250 words or fewer) of the manuscript's significant content. There should be no more than seven key words, which should not duplicate words in the title and should be arranged in alphabetical order, and preferably include the order and family names of the major organism(s) considered.
The IMRAD format ("Introduction", "Materials and methods", "Results" and "Discussion") is recommended for long manuscripts, although following this format is at the author's discretion. The text of manuscripts submitted as short communications should be undivided.
Acknowledgments should be typed in a single paragraph headed "ACKNOWLEDGMENTS", directly preceding the "REFERENCES" section. The source of financial grants and other funding must be acknowledged, including a frank declaration of the authors' industrial links and affiliations. The contribution of colleagues or institutions should also be acknowledged. Personal thanks and thanks to anonymous reviewers are not appropriate.
Words to be italicized should be typed in italics but should not be underlined, and capitalization should be avoided in all cases except for headings, abbreviations of depositories and/or institutions, and technical terms. Hard returns should be used only at the end of a paragraph and words should not be hyphenated. Other formatting, such as headings and subheadings, should follow that in the latest issue of Entomological Science.
Measurements should be expressed in SI units (but preferably avoiding cm and dm). Numbers between one and ten in the main body of the text should be written in full except dates, the numbering of figures and tables, and numbers accompanying metrical units (such as mm, m, km, mg, g and kg) including time units (sec, min, h, day, week, month and year). Numbers greater than 10 should be written as numerals. Fractions should be written as decimals.
All papers must conform to the latest edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. The first mention of an animal should include the full scientific name with the authority and, particularly in taxonomic papers, the year of publication. The authority and the year of publication should be separated by a comma. Genus names should not be abbreviated at the beginning of a sentence.
If the research was carried out in areas for which research permits are necessary (e.g. nature reserves) or if it deals with organisms for which collection or import/export permits are required (e.g. protected species), the authors must clearly detail obtaining these permits in the acknowledgments paragraph.
In taxonomic papers, type specimens must be clearly designated and type depositories must be clearly indicated. Authors are required to deposit the name-bearing type material in an internationally recognized institution (not in private collections). For the number of segment, Roman numerals (e.g. tergum X) should be used. Body part terms specific to a given taxon should be explained in the "MATERIALS AND METHODS" or be indicated in figures. The second couplets of the key should start with a dash only (-). The arrangement within taxonomic species accounts consists of the name of the taxon, a list of synonyms and references, description, remarks if any, and a list of specimens examined (under "Specimens examined"). The list of specimens examined should be as compact as possible; for example, "Specimens examined. Japan: 1¡á (IUNH), Mito, 26.xi.2004, J. Kojima; 3¡â2¡á (IUNH), ..." The holotypes (or other name-bearing types) and paratypes (or paralectotypes) are listed separately, and full label data should be given for the name-bearing types in quotation marks when they are designated in the paper.
REFERENCES
The Harvard (author/date) system of referencing should be used. In the text, give the author's name followed by the year in parentheses: Smith (2000). If there are two authors, use "and": Smith and Jones (2001); but if cited within parentheses use "&": (Smith & Jones 2001). When reference is made to a work by three or more authors, the first name followed by et al. should be used: MacDonald et al. (2002). This format of referencing should also be adopted for the synonym list in a taxonomic paper; for example, Vespa crabro Linnaeus (1758): 572.
In the reference list, references should be listed in alphabetical order. Cite the names of all authors (or editors) when there are six or fewer; when seven or more, list the first three followed by et al. Do not use ibid. or op cit. The title of the cited work should be given in full and journal titles should not be abbreviated. Reference to unpublished data and personal communications should be avoided if at all possible but if absolutely necessary should not appear in the reference list but should be cited in the text only (e.g. "A. Smith, unpubl. data, 2000"). All other citations in the text, tables or figures must be listed in the reference list.

TABLES AND FIGURES
Tables and figures should be limited to those required for clear communication and must be referred to in the text. The same data should not be presented in both table and figure format. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet with title and legend, and be numbered in sequence with Arabic characters. In electronic files, tables should be prepared by using the "Insert Table" function in MS Word or each cell should be separated by a tab.
All illustrations, including photographs, graphs and maps, even if they are arranged in plates, should be sequentially numbered together as figures; no subdivision of an illustration such as with "A", "B" should be made. Figures should be arranged on paper no larger than 210 x 297 mm (A4 size) and they should be produced to fit within the column (80.5 mm), intermediate text width (110 mm) or full text width (168 mm). The degree of magnification used should be indicated by means of a scale line. Captions for all figures should be numbered and typed in order, on separate page(s) at the end of the manuscript. Color illustrations are reproduced at the author's expense.
