The Journal of Insect Science publishes papers in all aspects of the biology of insects and other arthropods from the molecular to the ecological. The Journal is edited and published on the World Wide Web by the University of Arizona as a collaborative project between the Faculty and Library of the University. Our guiding principle is that academic institutions should be involved in publishing scholarly work with as few impediments as possible to free access to information.

The Journal of Insect Science is currently supported by the Library of the University of Arizona and will be freely available to individuals and institutions. It provides an alternative to excessively priced commercial publications in insect biology. It is the vehicle of choice for the publication of high-quality, rigorously refereed reports on the biology of insects and other arthropods.

The Journal of Insect Science has an international scope with a broad constituency of scientists interested in the biology of insects and their agricultural and medical impact. An outstanding group of Associate Editors and Editorial Board members set standards that ensures the quality of the Journal. Peer review of manuscripts is overseen by members of the Editorial Board. Copyright will belong to the authors or their employers, with limited rights to the Journal to insure our right to maintain the articles on line and in archives. The University of Arizona Library will maintain the archive as part of its digital library initiatives program.

The Journal of Insect Science will have connections with professional societies. We are arranging for published papers to be included in PubMed Central that will guarantee wide visibility for your paper and provide reference links to full text articles. The Journal of Insect Science is a "Leading Edge" Partner of SPARC (The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition), which is an association of 180 academic libraries dedicated to encouraging alternatives to commercial publishing of academic work.

Call for Papers
The Journal of Insect Science is ready to accept submissions of manuscripts for publication. You can submit your manuscript electronically, as an attachment to an e-mail message, or you can submit it by post. If you choose the latter, please include a diskette or zip disk with the electronic version of the manuscript. The text can be in either Word, or Word Perfect, or Rich Text Format (RTF).

You may include digitized color figures or photographs, sound and video. Images can be in JPEG, GIF, TIFF or Photoshop. We can scan and digitize any figures that you submit but the quality of micrographs will be higher if you submit them in a digital form.

If you wish to submit sound or video please contact me for instructions.

You may also include larger sets of data such as sequence alignments, statistical analyses, detailed experimental descriptions, etc. The format of the manuscripts should include an abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results and discussion.

References should by cited in the text as follows (Smith et al., 2000). The reference style will be: Smith AB, Jones KS, Doe JP. 2000. How to publish quality papers on-line. J Insect Science 1:100-112.

Books should be cites as follows: Zar JH. 1996. Biostatistical Analysis, 3rd edition. Prentice Hall.

Articles in a book should be cited as follows: Smith WA, Combest WL. 1985. Role of cyclic nucleotides in hormone action. In: Kerkut GA, Gilbert LI, editors. Comprehensive Insect Physiology Biochemistry and Pharmacology, 8: 263-299. Oxford: Pergamon Press.
