Aims and Scope
Insects (ISSN 2075-4450) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal of entomology published by MDPI online quarterly. It publishes reviews, research papers and communications related to the biology, physiology and the behavior of insects and arthropods. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.

This paper was later accepted by the top core SCI journal in Japan, which had previously inexplicably rejected it. I am a postdoctoral fellow, a master's thesis advisor, and hold the rank of associate professor. I have published over 30 papers, and it is impossible for a paper that I have put in so much effort and hard work to be directly rejected. From my observation, it seems that this journal may prioritize certain other aspects, so submitting to it may be beneficial for some people but potentially unfavorable for others. Please experience it for yourself.

The submission was rejected within two hours. After a brief review, the article should have reached a responsible editor, who rejected it in about half an hour. When it was rejected, I was still reading the article in the system. Without being modest, I believe that submitting to this journal should have at least made it to the peer review stage. The rejection should have been at this stage, rather than the editor arbitrarily rejecting it for no reason.
