Aims and Scope
Insect Molecular Biology has been dedicated to providing researchers with the opportunity to publish high quality original research on topics broadly related to insect molecular biology since 1992. IMB is particularly interested in publishing research in insect genomics/genes and proteomics/proteins.

This includes research related to:
• insect gene structure
• control of gene expression
• localisation and function/activity of proteins
• interactions of proteins and ligands/substrates
• effect of mutations on gene/protein function
• evolution of insect genes/genomes, especially where principles relevant to insects in general are established
• molecular population genetics where data are used to identify genes (or regions of genomes) involved in specific adaptations
• gene mapping using molecular tools
• molecular interactions of insects with microorganisms including Wolbachia, symbionts and viruses or other pathogens transmitted by insects

Papers can include large data sets e.g.from micro-array or proteomic experiments or analyses of genome sequences done in silico (subject to the data being placed in the context of hypothesis testing).

I previously submitted an article on insect development! It was reviewed within a week and received revision comments after a month (the editor was very friendly and provided a lot of help in terms of writing, even regarding the use of certain articles). It is a well-established and prestigious journal with high recognition in our field. I hope the journal continues to improve!

Submitted a research article on insect immunology. Submitted on August 24, 2020, revised twice on September 7th and October 7th, and accepted on October 28th. One of the better journals in entomology, with sufficient data, clear charts, and high language requirements. Many good entomology journals are classified as second-tier, hoping for improvement in the future.
