1. SUBMISSION
Thank you for your interest in Austral Entomology. Please read the complete Author Guidelines carefully prior to submission. Note that submission implies that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium, or presented in a non-peer reviewed journal.
Submission Checklist
Before submitting your manuscript, please check that:
□ The reference section is in the proper format.
□ All references cited in the text are included in the reference section.
□ All figures and tables are cited in the text.
□ The pages are numbered.
Once you have prepared your submission in accordance with the Guidelines, manuscripts should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/aen
You are strongly encouraged to download and follow the structure outlined in the templates for Original Articles and Taxonomic Articles. Use of these templates will make it much easier for you to prepare your paper in a manner conforming to the journal's requirements.
The submission system will prompt you to use an ORCiD (a unique author identifier) to help distinguish your work from that of other researchers. Click here to find out more.
We look forward to your submission.
2. AIMS AND SCOPE
Austral Entomology is a scientific journal of entomology for the Southern Hemisphere. It publishes Original Articles that are peer-reviewed research papers from the study of the behaviour, biology, biosystematics, conservation biology, ecology, evolution, forensic and medical entomology, molecular biology, public health, urban entomology, physiology and the use and control of insects, arachnids and myriapods. The journal also publishes Reviews on research and theory or commentaries on current areas of research, innovation or rapid development likely to be of broad interest – these may be submitted or invited. Book Reviews will also be considered provided the works are of global significance. Manuscripts from authors in the Northern Hemisphere are encouraged provided that the research has relevance to or broad readership within the Southern Hemisphere. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least two referees expert in the field of the submitted paper. Special issues are encouraged; please contact the Chief Editor for further information.
Austral Entomology is the official publication of the Australian Entomological Society, an incorporated non-profit Australian company limited by guarantee. Membership of the Society is open to any person interested in entomology in its broadest sense. Application forms are available from the Australian Entomological Society website (http://www.austentsoc.org.au/).
3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS
Austral Entomology publishes the following article types:
• Original Articles
• Reviews
• Book Reviews
• Editorials
• Symposium Overviews
Original Articles
Original Articles are peer-reviewed research papers from the study of the behaviour, biology, biosystematics, conservation biology, ecology, evolution, forensic and medical entomology, molecular biology, public health, urban entomology, physiology and the use and control of insects, arachnids and myriapods.
Please click on this link for further details on how Original Articles should be formatted: Template for Original Articles.
Original Articles (Taxonomic Papers)
For taxonomic papers, authors must follow the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). Revisionary papers and small monographs will be accepted provided they occupy no more than 25 printed journal pages due to competition for space. The Introduction of all taxonomic papers must provide a clear statement outlining the context and purpose of the paper – why the work was done and what it aims to achieve. Further detail about requirements for taxonomic papers are available here: Template for Taxonomic Papers.
Reviews
Reviews may be invited or submitted by prospective authors on any research topic provided they are of broad interest. Commentaries or overviews on current areas of research, innovation or rapid development are particularly welcome. The structure of Review papers is optional, but they must include an Abstract and Introduction, and preferably end with a Conclusion and/or Future Directions. Page length is optional, but Reviews are typically 5,000–20,000 words. Note that one or two Review papers will be made freely available to the general public each year based on the recommendation of the Chief Editor.
Book Reviews
Book Reviews will be considered provided the works are of global significance. Book Reviews are typically less than 2,000 words.
Editorials and Symposium Overviews
Editorials are opinion pieces or commentaries on particular topics of broad interest prepared by the Chief Editor. Symposium Overviews are similar to Editorials and are prepared by the convenor(s) of a symposium, usually published as a special issue, in Austral Entomology.
4. PREPARING YOUR MANUSCRIPT
You are strongly encouraged to download and follow the structure outlined in the templates for Original Articles and Taxonomic Articles. Use of these templates will make it much easier for you to prepare your paper in a manner conforming to the journal's requirements.
Style and Formatting
For submission, the manuscript should preferably be submitted as a single file, with the figures embedded as low resolution files. Tables and figures should be inserted at the end of the manuscript. Name the manuscript file as: authorname.doc.
• Submissions should be typed in 12 pt Times New Roman and have 1.5 line spacing.
• All margins should be set to 2.5 cm.
• The first paragraph under each heading is not indented; indent following paragraphs, with no blank line between paragraphs.
• Ensure that all mark-up (‘Track Changes’) done during manuscript preparation is removed (‘Accept All Changes’ on Reviewing Toolbar) so that reviewers have a clean copy on which to insert suggested changes and comments.
Abbreviations and Units
SI units (metre, kilogram etc.), as outlined in the latest edition of Units, Symbols and Abbreviations: A Guide for Medical and Scientific Editors and Authors (Royal Society of Medicine Press, London), should be used wherever possible. Give statistics and measurements in figures; that is, 10 mm, except where the number begins the sentence. When the number does not refer to a unit measurement, it is spelt out, except where the number is greater than nine. Use only standard abbreviations. Shorten the word ‘Figure’ to Fig. unless starting a sentence.
The journal uses Australian spelling and authors should therefore set the Language in MS Word to English (Australia) (accessible under the Tools menu in MS Word) and follow the latest edition of the Macquarie Dictionary. Manuscripts that do not conform to this requirement and the following format will be returned to the author prior to review for correction.
Parts of the Manuscript
Title page
The title page should contain:
(i) an informative title that contains the major key words. The title should contain the scientific name of the insect, with the order and family placed in parentheses;
(ii) the full names of the authors;
(iii) the author's institutional affiliations at which the work was carried out;
(iv) a short running title of less than 50 characters including spaces.
(iv) the email address of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript should be sent.
Abstract
All manuscripts must include a brief but informative abstract intelligible without reference to the main text. It should not exceed 350 words and should describe the scope of the work and the main findings. Both common and scientific names of the insect should be included. Authorities to species names are not required except for taxonomic papers. References to scientific literature must not be included. Use the passive voice in the Abstract. DO NOT use the uninformative phrase ‘Results are discussed.’
Key Words
Up to 10 additional key words should be provided below the Abstract.
Main Text Sections
• Introduction: This section should include sufficient background information to set the work in context. The aims and goals of the manuscript should be clearly stated. The introduction should not contain findings or conclusions.
• Materials and Methods: This should be concise but provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be repeated by others.
• Results: This should be presented in a logical sequence in the text, tables and figures; repetitive presentation of the same data in different forms is not permissible. The results should not contain material appropriate to the Discussion.
• Discussion: This should consider the results in relation to any hypotheses advanced in the Introduction and place the study in the context of other work.
Acknowledgements
The source of financial grants and other funding must be acknowledged, including a frank declaration of the author’s industrial links and affiliations. Financial and technical assistance may be acknowledged here. If tables or figures have been reproduced from another source, or copyright is not held by any of the authors, then written permission from the copyright holder must be mentioned in the Acknowledgements.
Ethical Considerations
Research permits
When the research is carried out in areas for which research permits are required (e.g. nature reserves or National Parks), or when it deals with organisms for which collection or import/export permits are required (e.g. protected species), the authors must clearly state these permits in the Acknowledgements.
Human/Animal Ethics
Where research is carried out involving humans or materials of human origin (e.g. blood sera, DNA), or involves the use of animals, the permit number and issuing body must be included in the Acknowledgements.
Conflict of Interest
The journal 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, the testing of a commercial product paid or sponsored by the manufacturer, distributor or seller of that product, and consultancy for or receipt of speaker’s fees from a company, or paid travel to present the information at a conference. 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 on the front page of the manuscript and in the manuscript (under the Acknowledgments), ALL pertinent commercial and other relationships. You are also required to state if no conflict of interests exist.
References
The Harvard (author, date) system of referencing is used.
• In the text give the author’s name followed by the year in parentheses: Sago (2000).
• When reference is made to a work by three or more authors, the first name followed by et al. should be used: Powles et al. (1998).
• Within parentheses, groups of references should be cited in chronological order.
• Personal communication, unpublished data and publications from informal meetings are not to be listed in the reference list but should be listed in full in the text (e.g. A. Smith, 2000, unpublished data).
• Titles of journals should be given in full.
• If several manuscripts by the same author(s) and from the same year are cited, a, b, c etc. should be put after the year of publication.
• ‘In press’ should only be used to cite manuscripts actually accepted for publication in a journal. Citations such as ‘manuscript in preparation’ or ‘manuscript submitted’ are not permitted. Data from such manuscripts can only be mentioned in the text as ‘unpublished data’.
• Pre-print publications are to be cited as websites, not cited as published papers because they have not been peer reviewed.
• References should be listed in alphabetical order at the end of the manuscript.
• Cite the names of all authors when there are six or fewer; when seven or more cite the first three plus et al.
• Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references.
• References can be formatted using the EndNote style for AEN. Please click AEN EndNote style to access the style.

Tables
Tables must be constructed using the ‘Table’ function of your word processor and must not have the Enter key used in any cell. Tables should be self-contained and complement, but not duplicate, information contained in the text. Tables should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals. Each table should be presented on a separate page at the end of the text with a comprehensive but concise legend above the table. Tables should be double-spaced and vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Column headings should be brief, with units of measurement in parentheses; all abbreviations should be defined in footnotes. Use superscript letters (not numbers) for footnotes and keep footnotes to a minimum. *, **, *** should be reserved for P-values. The table and its legend/footnotes should be understandable without reference to the text.
Figure Legends
Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the figure and its legend must be understandable without reference to the text. Include definitions of any symbols used and define/explain all abbreviations and units of measurement.
Figures
Only scientifically necessary illustrations should be included. Magnifications should be indicated using a scale bar on the illustration. Figures should be cited in consecutive order in the text.
Preparing Figures: Although we encourage authors to send us the highest-quality figures possible, for peer-review purposes we are happy to accept a wide variety of formats, sizes, and resolutions. Please note that it is preferable that line figures (e.g. graphs and charts) are supplied in black and white so that they are legible if printed by a reader in black and white.

5. EDITORIAL POLICIES AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Editorial Review and Acceptance
Manuscripts must not present work that has been published, accepted for publication or is currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Submission of a manuscript must be approved by all authors.
All manuscripts are reviewed by a Subject Editor of the Editorial Board and two specialist referees before acceptance. If a reviewed manuscript that is returned to the author for revision is not resubmitted within three months, it will be considered to have been withdrawn unless an extension has been granted by the Chief Editor. Revised manuscripts may be subject to further external review at the discretion of the Subject Editor. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Chief Editor.
The Editors and the Publisher reserve the right to modify manuscripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition, and to improve communication between author and reader. To encourage the valuable ongoing services of highly qualified reviewers and to avoid unnecessary delays, authors are strongly advised to have their manuscripts thoroughly reviewed by impartial colleagues prior to submission, especially if English is not their first language.
Scientific Names
The complete scientific name (genus and species), and cultivar or strain where appropriate, should be given for all animals when first mentioned; authorities are only needed for taxonomic papers. The generic name may be abbreviated to an initial in subsequent references except at the start of sentences and where intervening references to other genera would cause confusion. Common names of organisms, if used, should conform to the list on http://www.ces.csiro.au/aicn/intro.htm. All names must conform to the Articles and Recommendations of the fourth edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Common names of pesticides listed in Pesticides – Synonyms and Chemical Names (Australian Dept of Health, Canberra) must be used.
Author Zoobank registration number
The zoobank registration numbers are to be added by the author after the manuscript has been accepted.
Nucleotide Sequence Data
All DNA sequences must be lodged with GenBank and should not be repeated in the paper unless highly relevant. The GenBank registration number must be provided for each sequence (e.g. in Supporting Information).
Author statements
Papers are accepted for publication in the journal on the understanding that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.
Authorship
All listed authors should have contributed to the work and be in agreement with the final version of the manuscript.
Data Sharing and Data Accessibility
The journal encourages authors to share the data and other artefacts supporting the results in the paper by archiving it in an appropriate public repository. Authors should include a data accessibility statement, including a link to the repository they have used, in order that this statement can be published alongside their paper.
Publication Ethics
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Note this journal uses iThenticate’s CrossCheck software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. Read our Top 10 Publishing Ethics Tips for Authors here. Wiley’s Publication Ethics Guidelines can be found at https://authorservices.wiley.com/ethics-guidelines/index.html
6. AUTHOR LICENSING
If your paper is accepted, the author identified as the formal corresponding author will receive an email prompting them to log in to Author Services, where via the Wiley Author Licensing Service (WALS) they will be required to complete a copyright license agreement on behalf of all authors of the paper.
Authors may choose to publish under the terms of the journal’s standard copyright agreement, or OnlineOpen under the terms of a Creative Commons License.
General information regarding licensing and copyright is available here. To review the Creative Commons License options offered under OnlineOpen, please click here. (Note that certain funders mandate that a particular type of CC license has to be used; to check this please click here.)
Self-Archiving definitions and policies. Note that the journal’s standard copyright agreement allows for self-archiving of different versions of the article under specific conditions. Please click here for more detailed information about self-archiving definitions and policies.
Open Access
This journal is a subscription journal that offers an open access option. You’ll have the option to choose to make your article open access after acceptance, which will be subject to an APC. You can read more about APCs and whether you may be eligible for waivers or discounts, through your institution, funder, or a country waiver.
Funder Open Access: Please click here for more information on Wiley’s compliance with specific Funder Open Access Policies.
7. PUBLICATION PROCESS AFTER ACCEPTANCE
Accepted article received in production
When your accepted article is received by Wiley’s production team, you (corresponding authors) will receive an email asking you to login or register with Author Services. You will be asked to sign a publication licence at this point.
Proofs
Authors will receive an e-mail notification with a link and instructions for accessing page proofs online. Page proofs should be carefully proofread for any copyediting or typesetting errors. Online guidelines are provided within the system. No special software is required, all common browsers are supported. Authors should also make sure that any renumbered tables, figures, or references match text citations and that figure legends correspond with text citations and actual figures. Proofs must be returned within 48 hours of receipt of the email. Return of proofs via e-mail is possible in the event that the online system cannot be used or accessed.
Early View
The journal offers rapid speed to publication via Wiley’s Early View service. Early View (Online Version of Record) articles are published on Wiley Online Library before inclusion in an issue. Note there may be a delay after corrections are received before your article appears online, as Editors also need to review proofs. Once your article is published on Early View no further changes to your article are possible. Your Early View article is fully citable and carries an online publication date and DOI for citations.
Wiley’s Author Name Change Policy
In cases where authors wish to change their name following publication, Wiley will update and republish the paper and redeliver the updated metadata to indexing services. Our editorial and production teams will use discretion in recognizing that name changes may be of a sensitive and private nature for various reasons including (but not limited to) alignment with gender identity, or as a result of marriage, divorce, or religious conversion. Accordingly, to protect the author’s privacy, we will not publish a correction notice to the paper, and we will not notify co-authors of the change. Authors should contact the journal’s Editorial Office with their name change request.
