Women’s Special Issue Series: Insects

Dear Colleagues,

The journal “Insects” is launching a Special Issue on the "Contributions of Female Scientists to the Advancement of Insect Science" to highlight the achievements made by women to any areas of insect science. Outstanding research papers and review articles will be included in this Special Issue. We encourage contributions of persons who identify as a woman as the lead author is a woman, and the main goal of this Special Issue is to highlight and celebrate women in science and their advancement and success in the entomological field, reached by important publications. However, we welcome submissions from all authors, irrespective of gender identity.

This Special Issue is part of Insects' Women’s Special Issue Series, hosted by women editors for women researchers. The series advocates the advancement of women in science. We invite contributions to the Special Issue whose lead authors identify as women. The submission of articles with all-women authorship is especially encouraged. However, we do welcome articles from all authors, irrespective of gender.
