Current Research in Insect Science is an Elsevier title, published from Amsterdam and open from the first article. There is no subscription edition and no print run.《Current Research in Insect Science》是 Elsevier 的刊，从阿姆斯特丹出版，从第一篇文章起就是开放的。没有订阅版，也没有纸本。
Four subject words sit on the record. Entomology, insects, terrestrial arthropods and terrestrial crustaceans, and the last one widens the remit further than most insect journals go.记录上挂着四个主题词。昆虫学、昆虫、陆生节肢动物、陆生甲壳动物，最后那个词把范围撑得比多数昆虫刊物都宽。
The published contents run from molecules to landscapes. A CRISPR knock-out in a mosquito and a survey of flower-visiting shrubs in a farmland mosaic appear in the same two volumes.实际内容从分子一路铺到景观。蚊子身上的一次 CRISPR 敲除，与农田镶嵌体里访花灌木的一份调查，出现在相邻两卷里。
Thermal biology is the largest single cluster. Critical thermal maxima of diving beetles, a cheap thermal gradient device, warming winters and butterfly eggs, parental temperature carried into offspring winter survival.热生物学是最大的一簇。龙虱的临界热上限、一台便宜的热梯度装置、变暖的冬季与蝴蝶卵、亲代温度传到子代越冬存活。
Pest genetics has its own run of papers. Engineered Cry3Bb1 toxin against the western corn rootworm, CRISPR/Cas9 knock-out of a chemosensory gene in Aedes, and regional seasonal activity predictions for fall armyworm in Australia.害虫遗传有自己的一条线。针对西方玉米根叶甲的改造 Cry3Bb1 蛋白、在伊蚊里敲掉一个化感基因的 CRISPR/Cas9、以及澳大利亚秋黏虫的区域季节性活动预测。
Immunity papers work at the pathway level rather than the whole animal. The Imd/Rel2 and Toll/Rel1 cascades in Anopheles gambiae, a peptidoglycan recognition receptor in Rhodnius prolixus, and chemical modulation of Imd signalling in the cat flea.免疫论文做在通路的层级上，不做到整只虫。冈比亚按蚊的 Imd/Rel2 与 Toll/Rel1 级联、长红猎蝽的一个肽聚糖识别受体、猫栉首蚤 Imd 信号的化学调节。
Food and feed insects are treated as an industry with problems, not as a novelty. One paper measures agrochemical contamination in six edible insect species sold in Uganda and Kenya, and another argues the sector needs integrative solutions rather than single fixes.食用与饲用昆虫被当作一个有问题的行业来写，不当新鲜事写。一篇测了乌干达与肯尼亚市面上六种食用昆虫的农药污染，另一篇主张这个行业要的是成套办法，单点修补不够。
Pollination is covered from the wild side. Shrubs acting as magnets for pollinators, managed and introduced bees pressuring wild bee populations, and solitary bees assessed for greenhouse work.授粉是从野生一侧写的。灌木替传粉者当磁石、家养与引入的蜂挤压野生蜂群、独居蜂在温室里的适用性评估。
Conservation biology gets room that a taxonomy journal would not give it. The resilience of polar Collembola under climate change and the conservation status of leaf-litter beetles are both review-shaped papers.保护生物学在这里有分类学刊物不会给的空间。极地跳虫在气候变化下的韧性、落叶层甲虫的保护状况，两篇都是综述的写法。
Biosecurity is written for people who have to act. A paper on interpreting molecular evidence for biosecurity decision-making argues about how a sequence result should and should not be used by an agency.生物安全部分是写给要动手办事的人的。一篇讲如何为生物安全决策解读分子证据的论文，争的是测序结果该用在哪、不该用在哪。
Corrections are printed as records in their own right. Volume 2 carries a corrigendum to a population genetics paper on the coconut rhinoceros beetle, with its own article number.勘误也当独立记录印出来。第 2 卷带着一篇椰蛀犀金龟种群遗传学论文的勘误，有自己的文章编号。
Symbiosis and host physiology are steady themes. A CYPome in flux in the cat flea, wing polyphenism in pea aphids, and an aquaporin from a freshwater midge larva.共生与宿主生理是稳定的主题。猫栉首蚤一副变动中的细胞色素 P450 组、豌豆蚜的翅型多态、淡水摇蚊幼虫的一个水通道蛋白。
Nothing is paginated. Every record carries an article number in the hundred-thousands and no page range, so a paper's length is not rationed by a print signature.全刊不编页码。每条记录带一个六位数的文章编号，没有页码范围，文章长短不受印张限制。
History
The first volume is dated 2021, and the National Library of Medicine record starts the same year. Elsevier's imprint line opens in square brackets, which marks a title whose first physical copy was hard to pin down.第 1 卷标的是 2021 年，美国国家医学图书馆的记录也从这一年起。Elsevier 的出版者行加了方括号，那是在标一个首册难以确指的刊。
The opening item was an editorial by one author, Sinclair, and it sits at article number 100003 rather than first in the sequence. Numbering began at 100001 and the editorial was placed where the editor wanted it.开卷是一篇单作者的社论，作者是 Sinclair，位置在文章编号 100003，不在序列最前。编号从 100001 起，社论放在编辑想放的地方。
Volume 1 holds twenty-two records, and one of them is a contents listing rather than a paper. That is a small volume by the standards of an established entomology journal.第 1 卷收 22 条记录，其中一条是目录页而不是论文。以成熟昆虫学刊物的标准看，这一卷算薄。
Volume 2 in 2022 held twenty-three records. Two annual volumes of that size would have been a different journal, and for two years the journal ran one volume a year.2022 年的第 2 卷收了 23 条。若每年出两卷这个体量，那会是另一本刊，头两年这本刊一年只出一卷。
The split came in 2023. That year is covered by volume 3 with eleven records and volume 4 with six, and the practice has held ever since.分卷从 2023 年开始。那一年由第 3 卷的 11 条与第 4 卷的 6 条共同覆盖，此后一直如此。
2024 ran the same way, volume 5 with sixteen records and volume 6 with fifteen. 2025 gave volume 7 thirteen and volume 8 three, and 2026 has volume 9 and volume 10 open.第 5 卷与第 6 卷在 2024 年各收 16 条与 15 条。2025 年是第 7 卷 13 条、第 8 卷 3 条，2026 年的第 9 卷与第 10 卷已经开着。
There are no issue numbers anywhere in the record. Not one of the 128 deposits carries an issue field, which makes this a volume stream rather than a sequence of collected issues.记录里一个期号都没有。128 条存档中没有一条带期号字段，所以这是一条按卷汇流的发布线，不是一期一期攒起来的。
PubMed picked the journal up with volume 1 in 2021 and the full texts go to PubMed Central. The library record lists the country as the Netherlands, which is where the publisher sits rather than where the authors do.PubMed 从 2021 年第 1 卷起就收了这本刊，全文进 PubMed Central。图书馆记录把国别记为荷兰，那是出版方所在，不是作者所在。
The citation index entry is the emerging sources edition. In the 2025 file the journal is in the first quartile of entomology at 22 of 110, with a journal impact factor of 2.3.引文索引那一栏是新兴资源版。2025 年那份表里，刊物在昆虫学 110 种中排第 22，属第一区，影响因子 2.3。
Three years of impact factor exist. It was 2.2 in 2023, 2.7 in 2024 and 2.3 in 2025, a curve that has not yet settled into a trend.影响因子只有三年。2023 年 2.2，2024 年 2.7，2025 年 2.3，这条曲线还没走成趋势。
The five-year figure is higher than the annual one, at 3.0 against 2.3. Citations are still arriving faster than the journal is ageing, and the cited half-life of 3.2 years says the same thing.五年值高过年值，3.0 对 2.3。引用进来的速度仍快于刊物变老的速度，3.2 年的被引半衰期说的是同一件事。
Output is small and the citation base is thin. The file counts 304 citations against 14 articles, with an immediacy index of 1.5, which is high for a title this young.产出小，引用基数也薄。表里数到 304 次引用对 14 篇文章，即年指标 1.5，以这么年轻的刊来说算高。
The business model is the whole model. Authors pay 2,280 US dollars, the directory records no other charges, and the copyright stays with the publisher while the article is licensed for reuse.商业模式就是全部模式。作者付 2280 美元，目录记着没有其他费用，版权留在出版方，文章以许可方式供人使用。
Three licences are offered. Plain attribution, attribution with a ban on commercial use, and attribution with both the commercial and the derivative ban. The author picks one before the paper goes up.许可有三种。只要求署名，署名但禁商用，以及署名同时禁商用与演绎。作者在文章上线前挑一种。
Full texts are kept in three places besides the publisher. CLOCKSS, PubMed Central and Portico each hold a copy, which for a journal with no print edition is the only insurance that matters.全文在出版方之外还存了三处。CLOCKSS、PubMed Central 与 Portico 各存一份，对没有纸本的刊物来说，这是唯一要紧的保险。
Editors
Review is single anonymous. The referee knows whose paper it is and the author does not learn who read it.评审是单匿名。审稿人知道稿子是谁写的，作者不会知道读稿的是谁。
That arrangement puts the weight on the choice of referee. An editor who picks a friend of the laboratory gets a different report than one who picks a competitor, and the author never sees which happened.这种安排把分量压在挑人上。编辑挑实验室的朋友与挑对手，拿回来的意见不一样，作者看不到是哪一种。
The board has to hold molecular and ecological work in one hand. A CRISPR knock-out and a farmland pollinator survey need different referees and the same editorial judgement about what counts as new.编委会得一手托分子一手托生态。一次 CRISPR 敲除与一份农田传粉调查要不同的审稿人，却要同一套关于什么算新的编辑判断。
The crustacean clause in the scope is an editorial decision that has to be defended. A paper on a terrestrial isopod is inside the remit and a paper on a marine one is not, and someone has to draw that line in writing.范围里那条甲壳动物的口子是要有人守的编辑决定。陆生等足类的论文在范围内，海生的不在，这条线得有人写成字。
No page budget means the editor cannot use length as a reason. Refusing a paper has to be argued on substance, because there is no signature to fill.没有篇幅预算，编辑就不能拿长短当理由。拒稿得在内容上说服人，因为没有印张要填。
Corrections are handled as publications. The corrigendum in volume 2 has an author, an article number and a place in the volume, which is how a record stays honest.勘误按发表物处理。第 2 卷那篇勘误有作者、有文章编号、在卷里有位置，记录就是这样保持诚实的。
Licence choice sits with the author, not the editor. Three options are on the form and the editor's job is to make sure the choice is made before the paper is typeset.许可由作者挑，不由编辑挑。表上三个选项，编辑的活是确保在排版前把这一项定下来。
Speed is the promise and the queue is the cost. Median time from submission to publication is 54 weeks, and a journal that publishes article by article has nowhere to hide a delay.速度是承诺，队列是代价。投稿到出版的中位时间是 54 周，一本逐篇发布的刊物没有地方藏延误。
The editorial office sits inside a commercial publisher and the editors do not. Their salaries come from universities and the journal gets the hours between teaching and grants.编辑部在商业出版方内部，编辑不在。薪水来自大学，刊物拿到的是教学与项目之间剩下的那些钟点。
Biosecurity papers make the editorial line visible. Publishing a sequence result that an agency might act on requires a decision about how far the paper should go in recommending action.生物安全的稿子让编辑方向显形。发表一个机构可能据以行动的测序结果，要先决定这篇稿子该在建议行动上走多远。
The masthead changes slowly and the volume numbers do not wait. Ten volumes in six years means the board has already absorbed a change of publication rhythm without changing what it accepts.编委会换得慢，卷号不等。六年十卷，意味着编委会已经消化了一次发布节奏的改变，收稿的口径没跟着变。
