Peer Review Process

Reviewers are chosen in two ways. The Editor can choose them, or a member of the Editorial Board may be asked for suggestions of appropriate reviewers. Every attempt is made to obtain two reviews of each manuscript.

The Editor will ask advice from members of the Editorial Board when a dispute between reviewers and authors needs to be resolved.

The reviewer can provide comments for the authors, and separate comments to the Editor in the spaces provided.

 

Publication Frequency

Papers will be published as they are accepted and formatted. They will appear online at http://insectscience.org, in HTML and pdf format.

 

Open Access Policy

JIS provides immediate open access to its content. We believe that research supported by public funds should be freely available to the public without delay.

There are no subscription fees, or author fees.
