Author Guidelines
Editorial Policy
Papers submitted to Insect Conservation and Diversity should be original research papers on aspects pertaining mainly to aspects of insect conservation and diversity. Papers concerning other arthropods will also be considered. Major reviews, minor reviews, techniques and methodology papers, short communications, commentaries, and thought- provoking forum-type articles on any aspect of insect conservation and/or diversity ranging from policy matters to conjecture based on a solid science base are all welcomed.
Papers should be written in clear, concise and accurate English expression. They must not have been published or accepted for publication by any other journal, or be under consideration for publication in another journal. Submission of a manuscript to Insect Conservation and Diversity implies that all persons listed as authors agree to authorship, qualify for authorship, and agree with the entire content of the submitted manuscript, and that no person who qualifies for authorship has been excluded from the author list. Papers will be subjected to peer-review by at least two independent referees, to ensure that articles are both rigorous and readable. Ethical considerations will be taken into account in considering the acceptability of papers, and the editors' decision on this, as on other aspects, will be final.
Insect Conservation and Diversity is a member of and subscribes to the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (https://publicationethics.org/).
Conflicts of Interest
Insect Conservation and Diversity requires that all authors disclose any potential sources of conflict of interest. Any interest or relationship, financial or otherwise, which might be perceived as influencing an author’s objectivity is considered a potential source of conflict of interest. These must be disclosed when directly relevant or indirectly related to the work that the authors describe in their manuscript. Potential sources of conflict of interest include but are not limited to patent or stock ownership, membership of a company board of directors, membership of an advisory board or committee for a company, and consultancy for or receipt of speaker’s fees from a company. The existence of a conflict of interest does not preclude publication in this journal.
It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to review this policy with all authors and to collectively list in the manuscript (under the Acknowledgment section) and in the online submission system ALL pertinent commercial and other relationships.
In accordance with Wiley’s Best Practice Guidelines on Research Integrity and Publishing Ethics and the Committee on Publication Ethics’ guidance, Insect Conservation and Diversity will allow authors to correct authorship on a submitted, accepted, or published article if a valid reason exists to do so. All authors – including those to be added or removed – must agree to any proposed change. To request a change to the author list, please complete the Request for Changes to a Journal Article Author List Form and contact either the journal’s editorial or production office, depending on the status of the article. Authorship changes will not be considered without a fully completed Author Change form. Correcting the authorship is different from changing an author’s name; the relevant policy for that can be found in Wiley’s Best Practice Guidelines under “Author name changes after publication.
Ethical Guidelines
The journal expects authors to abide by the guidelines of those statutory bodies, or, discipline that are specific to the country of origin, or, execution of the research.
Article Preparation Support
Manuscript handling and publication can be subject to significant delays if English language requirements are not met. Wiley Editing Services offers expert help with English Language Editing, as well as translation, manuscript formatting, figure illustration, figure formatting, and graphical abstract design – so you can submit your manuscript with confidence. Also, check out our resources for Preparing Your Article for general guidance about writing and preparing your manuscript.
All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication.
Manuscript Submission
All material must be submitted electronically via the Insect Conservation and Diversity ScholarOne site at:
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/icdiv
Manuscripts which do not conform to ALL the standards outlined here will be returned to the author(s) with a request that they are edited to meet these standards.
All authors listed in the manuscript must be listed on the electronic system, with a working email address provided for each, as part of the submission process.
For submission assistance or questions please contact the Editorial Office or for technical support contact ScholarOne directly (ts.mcsupport@thomson.com).
Types of Manuscript
Original Article
A report of research addressing a specific research question, including the methods used, the results of the research, and conclusions drawn from the research. Papers should be in clear concise English and should not normally exceed 7,000 words of text (excluding abstract and references), but longer papers of particular merit may be considered. Papers should be novel and of wide general interest to entomologists and ecologists, with a particular focus on insect diversity and/or insect conservation.
Short Communication
Short research reports that would not normally exceed 3,000 words. Manuscripts submitted as Short Communications should be novel and of wide general interest to entomologists. The type of material submitted as a Short Communication is flexible, with manuscripts describing (for example) natural history observations, or preliminary empirical or experimental findings of particular merit. A Short Communication should be a concise report of an independent line of research, which does not require a detailed, full-length paper.
Short, species-specific articles addressing or focusing on specific management of conservation issues of species of particular conservation interest may also be submitted as Short Communications.
Review
These should be a systematic review of the published literature addressing a specific research theme, including an exhaustive search of the literature to date (with or without a quantitative meta-analysis). In rare cases a more narrative review discussing a particular topic may be considered with appropriate justification. Word limits can be negotiated with the Editors based on the merits of the subject area, but would not normally exceed 12,000 words.
Mini Review
A short review of a highly topical subject area, usually covering the most recent literature on fast moving and important topics that merit rapid consideration and publication. These should not normally exceed 8,000 words.
Methodological Article
We encourage Methodological articles that describe, develop and test new methods or techniques in relevant fields of insect conservation and diversity. Manuscript formatting and style should follow the standard for Original Articles described above.
Forum
Essays on new ideas and perspectives that will appeal to a wide entomological audience. Policy forum essays are particularly encouraged, addressing political, social or management aspects of conservation entomology. These should not normally exceed 8,000 words.
Commentary
We encourage constructive responses to recent papers in the journal, or highly topical articles in other journals. The aim should be to stimulate debate and new avenues for research enquiry, with the aim of clarifying and synthesizing competing hypotheses in controversial areas of broad entomological or ecological interest. Commentary articles would not normally exceed 3,000 words, except by negotiation with the Editors.
Graphical Abstract
Insect Conservation and Diversity presents its table of contents online in graphical form with a brief abstract. A Graphical Abstract is a mandatory element of submission to this journal for all article types with the exception of Editorials and Comment articles. The authors are required to provide a Graphical Abstract upon submission of their FIRST REVISION.
Graphical Abstract entries must be submitted to ScholarOne and uploaded with the file designation ‘Graphical Abstract’ during the revised manuscript submission process. The caption should be uploaded in an editable Word file including the article title, the authors' names (with the corresponding author indicated by an asterisk). The abstract caption must include three highlights, 30 words or fewer for each, summarising the key findings presented in the paper and a figure that best represents the scope of the paper. The image should be included in the caption Word file or supplied as a TIF or EPS file. Ideally the figure should be eye-catching and colourful. It does not need to be a figure used in the main article, however if no figure is provided by the authors then Figure 1 will be used by default. Please see recent issues of the journal for examples of different styles and formats. It must be in high resolution, at least 300 dpi, it must fit within the dimensions of 50mm x 60mm and be fully legible at this size.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office at icd.editorial@wiley.com if you have any further queries about Graphical Abstracts.
Cover Letter
A covering letter to the Editor-in-Chief should be included with the online submission and should succinctly describe why the work makes a substantive contribution to the advancement of knowledge in disciplines relevant to Insect Conservation and Diversity.

All original articles should include the above, followed by an Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References, Tables and Figures. Each table should be presented on a separate sheet. Figure legends should also be grouped together on a separate sheet.
Original articles should not exceed 7,000 words of text (12 printed pages) without references, though longer articles with merit may be accepted – please contact the Editor-in-Chief before making such a submission.
Short communications should be limited to 3,000 words of text without references and have a combined Results and Discussion section. They should also include no more than one figure and one table.
Scientific names of genus, species and subspecies should be italicised. The full name must be used when first mentioned in the manuscript, with subsequent abbreviation of the genus name thereafter (except when used as the first word in a sentence). The taxonomic affiliation and authority should also be given at the first mention of a species (see section on taxonomic validation below).
