Instructions to Authors Entomotropica
The Sociedad Venezolana de Entomología publishes the Bulletin in July
and December, and the Monographic Series at irregular intervals. Original
papers on neotropical entomological fauna will be considered for publication
following
a wide concept of Entomology that includes Parainsecta (Collembola, etc.),
but also arachnids and myriapods. Difference beteween the two series is basically
of size, the Monographic Series will accomodate works over 80 printed pages
at
the current format. All the manuscripts will be reviewed by 3 specialists
in the area who will suggest to the Editorial Committee (CE) its publication
or
not. The final decision of acceptance of a manuscript rests upon the CE.
The Bulletin publishes the following types of works:
- Unpublished original research articles.
- Short Communications (brief descriptions of technical or novel equipment,
faunistic records, observations of unusual pest out-breaks, migrations,
new hosts and other taxonomics or biological topics).
- Essays of entomological interest (summarizes well-known data discuss and
sketchs options for future investigations).
- Reviews of entomological books or with chapters dedicated to entomology.
- Necrological notes on entomologists who contributed notably to the knowledge
of the neotropical entomofauna.
Cost per printed page in the Bulletin or in the Monographic Series is US $10.00
(members of the SVE), and US $15.00 (non members). Fifty (50) reprints will
be given to the author (or to the first co-author), without additional costs.
Manuscripts
We will publish works in Spanish, English and Portuguese.
The manuscript should be as concise as possible. An original (with title and
the author's name) and three copies (without the author's name) must be sent,
with "resumen" (Spanish abstract) "Palabras clave adicionales" (Spanish
additional keywords), abstract, additional keywords, introduction, materials
and methods, results, discussion and conclusion, acknowledgments, and references.
After its acceptance by the CE, the author will send a copy in 3.5" diskette
formatted for MS-DOS, in Word 6.0TM or higher for Microsoft WindowsTM or Corel
WordPerfectTM. ASCII text files are acceptable. The graphics, drawings and

The title should be brief and precise, written in normal and lowercase letters.
The scientific names of genera/subgenera and species/subspecies should be underlined
and accompanied by the respective author's name, in not abbreviated form, and
with the year of publication.
Full addresses should be given for all autors.
Resumen and Abstract should be representative of the work and not merely indicative
of their content. It is recommended to keep it under 200 words. Palabras clave
adicionales and additional keywords should be ordered alphabetically and inserted
after the Resumen and the Abstract, respectively. They should not be repetitive
of terms that appear in the title.
Those headers as Resumen, Abstract, Introduction, etc. should be separated from
the subordinate text with a blank line. On the text, the scientific names of
taxa should be underlined, spelled and accompanied by the author's name (not
abbreviated) of the respective taxon, and the year of publication, the first
time they appear in text. All measurements should agree with the decimal metric
system, using the official abbreviations, without point (unless at the end of
a sentence).
The decimals should be separated by points; the units of thousand should not
be separated by a point, but by a space (1 998 m), except for years (1998). Celcius
degrees are indicated as "26 °C"; geographical coordinates as "lat
03°05’10"N, long 60º18’03"W." In the case
of referring to pesticides, these should be indicated by their common or technical
names (in lowercase) and accompanied by their commercial names (in uppercase
and in parenthesis).
The terms "Figures" and "Tables" should not be abbreviated
the text and with the first letter capitalized. Footnotes must be avoided.
The references in the text will be indicated as follows: Batemann (1972), (Batemann
1972), (Olivares and Angulo 1996), (Geraud-Pouey et al. 1997), (Anonymous 1998)
or in case of an Institution, with the indicative letters in uppercase, for
example: (IUCN 1994). Under References, all the mentioned works should appear
in alphabetical order, according to the first author.
Names of journals should be abbreviated according to the "World List
of Scientific Periodicals." Periods should not be used to separate the
abbreviations of the name of a Journal. Examples:
