Submission guidelines
Instructions for Authors
Journal of Insect Conservation accepts the submission of Research articles, Short Communications and Review articles. Word limits for each of these article types are as follows (word limits exclude tables, figures and supplementary material):
Research article – 8000 words
Short communication - 2500 words
Review – 12000 words
New abstract structure now required: -
Abstracts should be structured with a background, main body of the article and short conclusion. For research articles, the abstract structure should follow the format of a traditional scientific article and would typically have the following sections: Introduction, Aims/Methods, Results, Discussion. For reviews and short notes, the inclusion of abstract sections is up to the individual authors, although changes might be requested. All manuscripts (irrespective of article type) submitted to the Journal of Insect Conservation must end their abstract with a subsection titled ‘Implications for insect conservation’, in which authors are expected to provide a brief (1 – 2 sentences) description on the conservation implications that their article addresses.
Example conservation summary: “Implications for insect conservation: Our results show that native cover crops enhance foliar arthropod diversity over and above exotic cover crops and contributes to farm-scale compositional heterogeneity. It therefore has potential to reduce arthropod diversity loss within farmlands and to contribute to more resilient vineyard agroecosystems.”
Author guidelines: If your research includes a conservation intervention, it is strongly recommended that you provide a minimum of one sentence in the introduction of your article to summarize the evidence related to the intervention. If no related evidence has previously been published, please state this in the introduction. Please consult relevant conservation databases and/or alternative sources to check for any existing evidence relating to conservation interventions.
Reviewer guidance: If the authors research includes a conservation intervention, it is strongly recommended that you check that they have not overlooked any evidence related to interventions in the relevant literature. Please consult relevant conservation databases and/or alternative sources to check for any existing evidence relating to conservation interventions.
Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
Online Submission

Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 10-point Times Roman) for text.
Use italics for emphasis.
Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.
Do not use field functions.
Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar.
Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables.
Use the equation editor or MathType for equations.
Save your file in docx format (Word 2007 or higher) or doc format (older Word versions).

LaTeX macro package (Download zip, 188 kB)
Headings
Please use no more than three levels of displayed headings.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.
Footnotes
Footnotes can be used to give additional information, which may include the citation of a reference included in the reference list. They should not consist solely of a reference citation, and they should never include the bibliographic details of a reference. They should also not contain any figures or tables.
Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). Footnotes to the title or the authors of the article are not given reference symbols.
Always use footnotes instead of endnotes.
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section on the title page. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.
Important note:
All authors are requested to use the continuous line numbering function for their manuscripts.
Scientific style
Please always use internationally accepted signs and symbols for units (SI units).
Scientific style
Nomenclature: Insofar as possible, authors should use systematic names similar to those used by Chemical Abstract Service or IUPAC.
References
Citation
Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Some examples:
Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson 1990).
This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman (1996).
This effect has been widely studied (Abbott 1991; Barakat et al. 1995a, b; Kelso and Smith 1998; Medvec et al. 1999, 2000).
Reference list
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text.
Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work. Please alphabetize according to the following rules: 1) For one author, by name of author, then chronologically; 2) For two authors, by name of author, then name of coauthor, then chronologically; 3) For more than two authors, by name of first author, then chronologically.
If available, please always include DOIs as full DOI links in your reference list (e.g. “https://doi.org/abc”).
