About the journal
Agricultural and Forest Entomology provides a multi-disciplinary and international forum in which researchers can present their work on all aspects of agricultural and forest entomology to other researchers, policy makers and professionals.
The Journal welcomes primary research papers, reviews and short communications on entomological research relevant to the control of insect and other arthropod pests. We invite high quality original research papers on the biology, population dynamics, impact and management of pests of the full range of forest, agricultural and horticultural crops. All cropping systems within these sectors are of interest, including forest plantations, semi-natural forest stands, seed orchards, fruit orchards, agroforestry systems, grassland, arable and horticultural field and protected crops.
All papers, including those on insect biology and population dynamics, must be novel and be of applied importance. Papers on population dynamics should focus on the factors which lead to outbreaks of pests or to forecasting these outbreaks. Papers on the management of pests may include the development and use of techniques, such as plant resistance, pheromones, biological control, the economics of pest control and the use of silvicultural and crop management techniques to manage pests. Papers on biology underpinning the development of techniques and strategies of pest management will also be accepted.
Instructions to Authors
Agricultural and Forest Entomology aims to provide a natural home for the best papers on entomological research in agroecosystems and managed forests. It welcomes high quality original research papers on the biology, population dynamics, impact and management of insect and other arthropod pests of forest, agricultural and horticultural crops. All cropping systems within these sectors are of interest; including forest plantations, semi-natural forest stands, seed orchards, fruit orchards, agroforestry systems, grassland, arable and horticultural field and protected crops.
Agricultural and Forest Entomology will also publish papers on the management of agroecosystems and managed forests for the diversity of insects and other arthropods, particularly where this is relevant to pest management.
Papers from any region of the world will be welcome.
Agricultural and Forest Entomology will publish original research, review articles on topics of current relevance and a series of short critical commentaries. These short papers and review articles form an integral part of the journal but are usually commissioned. Potential authors should contact the Editors before submitting them.
We aim to provide rapid publication and speedy responses to authors, with all papers being critically reviewed by at least two independent referees. The peer review process will ensure that articles are both rigorous and readable.
All correspondence should be addressed to:

Papers should be as concise as possible, compatible with clarity and completeness, and should occupy between 2 and 10 printed pages (1400-7000 words). Only complete reports will be published; preliminary communications will not be considered. A numbered abstract of up to 250 words should be provided. The text should normally be divided into Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion sections. Please examine recent issues for details of acceptable style and format. See below for further details. Manuscripts which do not conform to the standards outlined will be returned to the author(s) with a request that they are edited to meet these standards prior to submission.
Short critical reviews - Issues in Agricultural and Forest Entomology - and longer review articles will be published. These will usually be commissioned, and potential authors should contact the Editors before submitting them.
Submission of Manuscripts
Submission of the manuscript by e-mail is preferred. Please provide:
- A covering letter including your full contact details and those of any co-authors
- A Word file containing your text, figure legends, tables and any figures embedded at the end. You may need to use low resolution figures (GIF/JPG) to keep the total file size small enough to e-mail- as a guide, the file sould be 2Mb or less.
All papers should be sent to Dr A.D. Watt. If you are unable to submit by e-mail, please contact the Editor for details of submitting as hard copy.
Every effort will be made to ensure rapid publication. Authors will normally receive reviewers' comments within 6 weeks of submission. The decisions of the Editors are final. No page charges will be levied. Papers must be submitted exclusively to Agricultural and Forest Entomology and are accepted on the understanding that they have not been, and will not be, published elsewhere. If accepted, papers become the copyright of the Journal. Authors must give signed consent to publication in a letter sent with the paper, but permission to use material elsewhere (e.g. in review articles) will normally be granted on request.
Preparation of electronic artwork
We would like to receive your artwork electronically in addition to hard copy. Please prepare your figures according to the publisher's Electronic Artwork Guidlines. Although low quality images (GIF/JPG) are adequate for review purposes, print publication requires high quality images (TIFF/EPS). The Editorial Office will request that high-quality electronic figures and one good-quality hard copy of the figures are provided once your paper has been accepted.
?Create EPS files for images containing lineart. EPS files should be saved with fonts embedded (and with a TIFF preview if possible). The following packages can be used to create EPS files: Adobe Illustrator 7.0 and above, Deneba Canvas 6.0 and above, CorelDRAW 7.0 and above, SigmaPlot 8.01 and above. Other programs may also be able to create EPS files - use the SAVE AS or EXPORT functions. EPS files can be produced from other applications (e.g. PowerPoint, Excel) BUT results can be unpredictable (e.g. fonts and shading not converted correctly, lines missing, dotted lines becoming solid).
?Create TIFF files images containing half-tones/photographs. For scanned images, the scanning resolution (at final image size, see above for a guide to sizes) should be as follows to ensure adequate reproduction: lineart, >800 d.p.i.; half-tones, >300 d.p.i. Figures containing both halftone and line images, >600 d.p.i. The following programs can be used to create TIFF files: Adobe Photoshop 4.0 and above, Adobe Illustrator 9.0 and GraphPad Prism 3. Other programs may also be able to create TIFF files - use the SAVE AS or EXPORT functions.
?Black and white images should be supplied as 'grayscale'; colour images should be supplied as CMYK.
?Multipart figures should be supplied in the final layout in one file, labelled as (A), (B) etc
?Supply figures at final size widths if possible: 19 picas (single column) or 40 picas (double column)
?Use sans serif, true-type fonts for labels if possible, preferably Arial or Helvetica, or Times (New) Roman if serif fonts required.
?Ensure all lines and lettering are clear.
Presentation of Manuscripts
The text should be double-spaced and, where appropriate, figures and table should be provided with each copy of the manuscript.
The title page should include the author's name(s), affiliations and the address to which all correspondence and proofs should be sent. A telephone number, fax number and e-mail address should also be supplied. Present addresses of authors should appear as a footnote. A running title of not more than 50 characters, including spaces, should be provided and five to ten key words for indexing purposes.
All papers must include an Abstract not exceeding 250 words which should be made as far as possible intelligible to a more general audience. The Abstract should be presented as a series of factual, numbered statements. The main text should normally be subdivided into Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion. The Results and Discussion sections can include additional subheadings.
All pages must be numbered consecutively. Line numbering should also be used. Tables, figures, figure legends and acknowledgements should be submitted on separate pages following the main text. The preferred position of tables and figures should be indicated in the margin of the text. Footnotes should not be used.
Give the scientific name of each species in full, together with the authority for its name where appropriate, at first mention in the main text. Do not give authorities for species cited from published references. Where a scientific name follows its common name, it should not be separated by a comma or brackets.
After an analysis of variance, further simultaneous testing of treatment means should not be done, except for specific comparisons planned prior to the experiment. Results of statistical analysis should always be presented in full with statistical results (e.g. F values), degrees of freedom and P values (e.g. P<0.001 or N.S.) P values should not be included alone. Simple measures of variability (e.g. standard error or confidence limits) should always accompany means. The same data should not be given in both tables and figures.
Tables and Figures
Original drawings or photographs should be supplied for reproduction. Figures will be reduced to single column width (80 mm), two-thirds page width (110 mm) or full page width (169 mm) and should be planned accordingly.
Photographs should be provided as glossy prints. Line diagrams should be drawn in black ink on tracing paper or white card or supplied as glossy prints. All illustrations should be labelled clearly on the reverse with the figure number and the author's name in soft black pencil, identifying the top edge. Colour plates will be published by special arrangement with the Editors and Publishers.
