Instructions for Authors
Insect Systematics & Evolution
Scope
Insect Systematics & Evolution (ISE) publishes original papers on all aspects of systematic entomology and the evolutionary history of both extant and extinct insects and related groups. Priority is given to taxonomic revisions and phylogenetic studies employing morphological and molecular data. ISE also welcomes reviews and syntheses that can appeal to a wide community of systematic entomologists. Single species descriptions, regional checklists, and phylogenetic studies based on few taxa or single molecular markers will generally not be accepted.
Benefits to Authors
ISE is a subscription-based journal, and thus it is free of page charge to publish in this journal.
There is no color figure charge for either the print or the PDF version.
ISE also registers new taxonomic nomenclatural acts to Zoobank (Official Registry of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature). ISE is archived through Portico, which preserves the contents and layout of the work.

The publication of a manuscript in a peer-reviewed work is expected to follow standards of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, editors, and reviewers. Authors, editors, and reviewers should thoroughly acquaint themselves with Brill’s publication ethics, which may be downloaded here: brill.com/page/ethics/publication-ethics-cope-compliance.
Online Submission Online Submission Online SubmissionOnline Submission Online Submission Online Submission
Rather than submitting manuscripts in the traditional way authors are now strongly encouraged to submit their manuscript online via the Editorial Manager (EM) online submission system at editorialmanager.com/ise. First-time users of EM need to register first. Go to the website and click on the "Register Now" link in the login menu. Enter the information requested. During registration, you can fill in your username and password. If you should forget your Username and Password, click on the "send login details" link in the login section, and enter your e-mail address exactly as you entered it when you registered. Your access codes will then be e-mailed to you.
When submitting via the website, you will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files and data. Authors are required to suggest at least 2 reviewers by submitting their names and e-mail addresses.
When a Word or equivalent document is uploaded as the initial submission, the system automatically generates an electronic (PDF) proof, which is then used for reviewing. All correspondence, including the editor’s request for revision and final decision, will be by e-mail.
Review Process
Before any manuscript goes through the peer review process, the journal’s Editor-in-Chief will determine the scope and suitability of the manuscript. If the manuscript is deemed out of scope or unsuitable, it will be returned to the corresponding author without review typically within 2 weeks after submission. For those manuscripts that pass the initial screening, a peer review process will begin. Normally, each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two external reviewers, selected by the Editor-in-Chief, who will assess the quality and significance of the research. The Editorial Board tries to keep the reviewing process as short as possible and to inform the author within two months after submission. The review process is handled online using the Editorial Manager online submission system at editorialmanager.com/ise/. The decision to accept or reject a manuscript for publication is the responsibility of the Editor-in-Chief.
Post-review Process
Once a manuscript is found acceptable for publication, and if it contains new nomenclatural acts governed by the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), it will be routed to the editorial board member (Dr Torsten Dikow) for registration in Zoobank (zoobank.org/). This is a service provided by the journal, but if the author wishes to register the nomenclatural acts in Zoobank, the journal can accommodate it as well. The final manuscript will have URL(s) for the Zoobank registry directly embedded in the manuscript, which will be available to the author for final approval. The Zoobank registration can take up to 3 weeks. Following this modification, the manuscript will be formally approved and routed to the publisher for typesetting, and the author will receive proofs about 6 weeks after acceptance, which should be corrected and returned to the managing editor as quickly as possible. The paper will be first published online as Advance Articles available at booksandjournals.brillonline.com/content/journals/1876312x. The Advance Articles are considered proper publications for the purpose of ICZN, and each article will include a line stating “Version of Record, published online date/year” indicating the date of availability. Eventually, each Advance Article will be assigned to a print issue, at which time the article is assigned volume/issue number and page number. The Version of Record is updated as “Version of Record, published online date/year; published in print date/year”.
File Formats
Various formats are allowed for the initial submission, including PDF files. The final revision must be as a source file in Word or another suitable word processor document (i.e. doc, docx, rft, etc.). For figures and tables, various formats are allowed for initial submission, but please follow a specific guideline for the final revision.
Contact Information
For any questions or problems relating to your manuscript please contact Editor-in-Chief Dr. Hojun Song, Department of Entomology, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA: hsong@tamu.edu. For questions about Editorial Manager, authors can also contact the Brill EM Support Department at: em@brill.com.
Taxonomy
All taxonomic actions must be in accordance with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. ISE registers all new nomenclatural acts through Zoobank. Authors of cited genera and species should be given when a name is first mentioned in the text. The abbreviations gen.n. (or gen. nov.), sp.n. (or sp. nov.), comb.n. (or comb. nov.) syn.n. (or syn. nov.), and stat.rev. should be used in bold face for new taxa, new combinations, synonymies, and revised statuses. The complete collection data of holotypes, paratypes and all other specimens examined must be recorded; the institution in which they are deposited must be indicated. Sex symbols (♂,♀) should be used instead of ‘male’ and ‘female’.
Type and Voucher Specimen Deposition
Authors are required to deposit type and voucher specimens in an established, permanent collection and to note in the published article that the expected deposition has been made, its location, and the collection accession number.
Sequence Data Deposition
Authors are required to include GenBank/EMBL accession numbers for nucleotide and amino acid sequence data. The accession number may be included in the original manuscript or the sequence may be provided for review and an accession number provided when the manuscript is revised.
Phylogenetic Data Deposition
Authors are strongly encouraged to deposit phylogenetic datasets (matrices, trees, etc.) into publicly available data repositories such as TreeBASE, DRYAD, or Mendeley.
Submission Requirements
Language
Contributions must be written in English. Both American and British English are acceptable. Spelling should be consistent throughout. It is extremely important that the manuscript is free of grammatical and typographical errors, so that it is clearly understandable to readers. If the authors are not native
English speakers, it is strongly advised that they work with a native English speaker to improve the quality of the manuscript before submission. Poor writing alone can be a reason for rejection.
Length
All manuscripts should be written concisely and succinctly. Normally, a typical article published in ISE is about 20-40 printed pages in length. For longer contributions (more than 50 printed pages), please contact the Editor-in-Chief (hsong@tamu.edu) prior to submission.
Manuscript Structure
General
Contributions should be typed with numbered pages, numbered lines, double line spacing and wide margins throughout. The text should be in Times New Roman, left-justified, with font size 12, without column or page breaks and without word hyphenations. The position of figures and tables should be indicated in the text. Any manuscript not following the required format will be returned without review.
Title
The title should be given in regular type (capitals only for the first letter and the first letters of proper words), and should be as brief and informative as possible. In addition, a short title should be provided, which should not exceed 50 characters, spaces included.
Author Name and Affiliation
Authors’ names should be in roman type with capitals as normally used by the author, first name or
initials as preferred, names separated by commas and between the last two names by ‘&’, references to institutes and addresses as superscripts (e.g. 1), or 1,2) in ascending order).
The institute where the work has been done should be indicated under the authors’ names, with the first letters of major words in capitals. When the authors were based at different organizations this should be indicated in superscript in front of the institute (e.g. 1Centre for Evolutionary Biology – corresponding to the references under ‘authors’).
The e-mail addresses of corresponding authors should be added as footnotes.
Abstract and Keywords
Each article should be accompanied by an abstract in English, which should mention all the principal facts and conclusions set forth in the paper. Abstract should be 300 words or less. Three to eight keywords should be added.
Headings
First level headings in bold type (Abstract, Introduction, Material and methods, Results, Discussion,
Acknowledgements, References or other variants if appropriate), capitals only for first letter of sentence and first letters of proper names, separated by white lines from text.
Second level headings in bold italic, flush left, with capitals only for first letter of sentence and first letters of proper names, separated by white lines from text. Sub-subheadings in regular type, aligned to the left, capitals only for first letter of sentence and first letters proper names, separated by a white line from preceding text, following text starting on the next line.
Italics, Bold
Italics should only be used for subheadings, scientific species names, titles of periodicals and words that
need to be emphasized (no italics for: e.g., i.e., et al., etc., cf.).
Bold should only be used in the main headings and for the volume number in the references.
Capitals
Capital letters should only be used for first letters of sentences, first letters of proper names and first letters of specific words (e.g. tables, figures, experiments) that should be emphasized; small capitals for words that should be printed in capitals.
Text Citations
References to the literature should consist of one or two authors and the year of publication or first author + et al. and year, totally in brackets or only the year in brackets, authors separated by ‘&’, author(s) and year not separated by a comma. Different references should be separated by semicolon, chronologically ordered. If the list contains several references of the same author(s), extra years should be added to the first entrance of an author. Differentiate between references by the same author(s) from the same year by adding a, b, etc. Examples: (Gaston 1977) or Gaston (1977); (Wingfield 1985; Wingfield & Wada 1989; Wingfield & Hahn 1994; McDonald et al. 2001); (Silverin 1993, 1998a, b; Wingfield & Hahn 1994).
Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be followed by ‘.’ unless the abbreviation is written with the last letter of the
original word at the end position (thus: i.e. – e.g. – cf. – etc. but eds – Dr – edn) – measures (such as mm cm m) without ‘.’.
Quotations
Use single quotation marks for isolated words or conceptions, double for literal quotes.
References
Titles listed under ‘References’ at the end of the paper should follow the following format:

Authors should include the title of the manuscript and full author list on the first page.
Copyright CopyrightCopyrightCopyrightCopyright CopyrightCopyright
It is a fundamental condition that submitted manuscripts have not been published and will not be simultaneously submitted or published elsewhere. By submitting a manuscript, the authors agree that the copyright for their article is transferred to the publisher if and when the article is accepted for publication. The use of general descriptive names, trademarks, etc., in this publication, even if the former are not specifically identified, is not to be taken as a sign that such names are exempt from the relevant protective Instructions to Authors laws and regulations and may accordingly be used freely by anyone.
Publication
Proofs
Upon acceptance, a PDF of the article proofs will be sent to the corresponding author by e-mail to check carefully for factual and typographic errors. Authors are responsible for checking these proofs and are strongly urged to make use of the Comment & Markup toolbar to note their corrections directly on the proofs. At this stage in the production process only minor corrections are allowed. Alterations to the original manuscript at this stage will result in considerable delay in publication and, therefore, are not accepted unless charged to the author. Proofs should be corrected and returned to the managing editor as quickly as possible.
E-Offprints
A PDF file of the article will be supplied free of charge by the publisher to authors for personal use. Brill is a RoMEO yellow publisher. The Author retains the right to self-archive the submitted (pre-peer-review) version of the article at any time. The submitted version of an article is the author's version that has not been peer-reviewed, nor had any value added to it by Brill (such as formatting or copy editing). The Author retains the right to self-archive the accepted (peer-reviewed) version after an embargo period of 12 months. The accepted version means the version which has been accepted for publication and contains all revisions made after peer reviewing and copy editing, but has not yet been typeset in the publisher’s lay-out. The publisher’s lay-out must not be used in any repository or on any website (brill.com/resources/authors/publishing-books-brill/self-archiving-rights).
