• TITLE: Standards for Effective Insect Rearing Science and Technology Papers

  AUTHORS: Allen Carson Cohen

  KEYWORDS: Rearing Research

  JOURNAL NAME: Advances in Entomology, Vol.6 No.4, October 24, 2018

  ABSTRACT: This article suggests standards for insect rearing papers, to make them more suitable for publication. It provides guidelines for publishing 1) insect rearing-technology papers and 2) insect rearing-science papers. The technology papers offer rearing methodology or practical aspects of rearing system development and optimization. The rearing science papers would include outcomes of rearing experiments developed with controls, variables and are based on explicitly stated rationale and explicit hypotheses. This paper also suggests welcoming papers based on discoveries of various aspects of feeding biology and treating scientifically rearing systems’ components and properties. It is suggested that the treatment of insect rearing systems should be modelled after the extensive and successful practices of the food science and food technology community. The food science model includes welcoming papers that do not involve directly living subjects. It is argued here that the outcomes of following these suggestions will greatly enhance the progress of insect rearing inquiry, and this progress will support a much greater practical and basic science-based understanding of insect biology.
