《害蟲科學雜志》發表了關于農業、園藝(包括葡萄栽培)、林業、城市害蟲和貯藏產品研究(包括健康和安全問題)各個方面的高質量論文。害蟲科學雜志報道了害蟲和動物疾病媒介的控制進展，害蟲及其拮抗劑的生物學、動物行為學和生態學，以及在害蟲控制中使用其他有益生物。該雜志涵蓋了所有有害或破壞性的動物群體，包括節肢動物、線蟲、軟體動物和脊椎動物。《害蟲科學雜志》特別關注新興和創新的害蟲控制策略，包括這些方法對非目標生物的副作用，例如天敵和傳粉者，以及在害蟲綜合管理中實施這些策略。《有害生物科學雜志》也發表與有害生物控制有關的農業和森林生態系統管理的論文。還將審議與蟲害控制有關的重要方法學發展的論文。此外，該雜志歡迎迅速交流，這是簡短的論文在害蟲控制的緊迫主題，這是廣泛的興趣，例如關于新建立或入侵主要作物害蟲的發現。這些文章將被快速跟蹤，以快速為科學家和害蟲控制從業者提供最新的信息。評審論文通常由編輯部邀請，但評審論文的建議可以發送到《有害生物科學評論雜志》編輯。該雜志還考慮對已發表論文的評論，主要是發表在《害蟲科學雜志》上的論文。我們的目標是為作者提供快速的出版和快速的反應，所有的論文都由獨立的評審。

Journal of Pest Science publishes high-quality papers on all aspects of pest science in agriculture, horticulture (including viticulture), forestry, urban pests, and stored products research, including health and safety issues.Journal of Pest Science reports on advances in control of pests and animal vectors of diseases, the biology, ethology and ecology of pests and their antagonists, and the use of other beneficial organisms in pest control. The journal covers all noxious or damaging groups of animals, including arthropods, nematodes, molluscs, and vertebrates.Journal of Pest Science devotes special attention to emerging and innovative pest control strategies, including the side effects of such approaches on non-target organisms, for example natural enemies and pollinators, and the implementation of these strategies in integrated pest management.Journal of Pest Science also publishes papers on the management of agro- and forest ecosystems where this is relevant to pest control. Papers on important methodological developments relevant for pest control will be considered as well.Moreover, the journal welcomes Rapid Communications which are shorter papers on pressing topics in pest control which are of broad interest, as for example findings on newly establishing or invading pests of major crops. These articles will be fast-tracked, to rapidly provide scientists and pest control practitioners with the latest information.Review papers are usually invited from the editorial board but proposals for review papers can be sent to the Journal of Pest Science Reviews Editor. The journal also considers Commentaries on published papers, principally papers which have been published in Journal of Pest Science.We aim to provide rapid publication and speedy responses to authors, with all papers being reviewed by independent referees.
