Current Research in Insect Science

Aims & Scope

Current Research in Insect Science (CRIS) is a selective gold open access journal from Elsevier.

CRIS publishes original research articles, brief communications, methods reports, review articles, and graphical review articles, covering all aspects of the broad discipline of insect science.

Current Research in Insect Science is a peer-reviewed gold open access (OA) journal and upon acceptance all articles are permanently and freely available.

It is a companion to the highly regarded review journal Current Opinion in Insect Science and is part of the Current Opinion and Research (CO+RE) suite of journals.

All CO+RE journals leverage the Current Opinion legacy-of editorial excellence, high-impact, and global reach-to ensure they are a widely read resource that is integral to scientists' workflow.

Current Research in Insect Science covers any aspect of insect science that will be of interest to the wide insect science community, from molecular biology to macroecology, and from evolutionary systematics to pest management.

We welcome both applied and fundamental science from anywhere in the world, and aim to be a go-to venue to foster interactions among a broad range of insect scientists based on publishing quality work from across the discipline.

Papers on non-insect terrestrial arthropods, including arachnids, myriapods, and terrestrial crustaceans will be considered if thought to be of sufficient interest to the journal readers.
