The Journal of Insect Science is an open access, peer-reviewed journal covering all fields of entomology. It is published bimonthly in February, April, June, August, October, and December. The journal publishes articles based on original, unpublished research, as well as Reviews, interpretive articles in a Forum section, Short Communications, and Letters to the Editor. The Journal of Insect Science accepts null/negative data that has been appropriately replicated. Manuscripts that are primarily descriptive (i.e., not addressing a hypothesis or scientific question), reports of new species or single species biology without management aspects, or vectors of pathogens causing diseases in humans or animals may not be accepted and may be referred to another ESA journal. The Journal of Insect Science uses a double-anonymous (double-blind) review process.
