About this Journal
Purpose and Scope of Journal
Journal of Integrated Pest Management,
is a new, open-access, peer-reviewed, extension journal covering the field
of integrated pest management. The Editors-in-Chief are Dr. Marlin E. Rice
of Pioneer Hi-Bred International (formerly with Iowa State University) and
Dr. Kevin L. Steffey of Dow Agrosciences (formerly with the University of
Illinois).
The journal is multi-disciplinary in scope, publishing articles in all pest management disciplines, including entomology, nematology, plant pathology, weed science, and other subject areas. The editors request submissions of original, extension-type articles about any aspect of pest management in the broadest sense, including, but not limited to, management of pests that affect row crops, forage and grasslands, horticultural crops, forests, urban landscapes, structures, schools, households, livestock and pets, and human health. Articles should be written for one of the three following categories:
1) Profiles: These are biology and ecology profiles for insects pests such as, for example, soybean aphids, emerald ash borers, bed bugs, and others. Profiles will include an insect’s scientific name, description of stages, biology, life history, host plants, potential for economic damage, sampling or scouting procedures, and management and control options.
2) Issues: These articles will focus on emerging integrated pest management issues such as "Transgenic Bt Cotton and Insect Management" or "Prevention and Management of Bed Bugs in Commercial Buildings." Articles will include information on the issue’s relevance, why the issue developed, balanced perspectives on the issue, and possible solutions.
3) Recommendations: These articles will contain consensus-based, pest management recommendations on topics such as "Management of Cattle Ticks in the Southwestern U.S." or "Management of the Asian Longhorned Beetle in New England Urban Environments." Recommendations will be based upon the principles of integrated pest management and supported by published research and validation data when available.
Intended Readership
The intended readership for the journal will be any professional who is engaged
in any aspect of integrated pest management, including, but not limited to, crop
producers, individuals working in crop protection, retailers, manufacturers and
suppliers of pest management products, educators, and pest control operators.
