Hello - I am the managing editor for the journals of the Entomological Society of America. We have updated the reference and citation style for all of our journals. The following styles, listed below, are already present in the system and should be removed and replaced with this one style.  

American Entomologist
Annals of Entomological Society of America
Entomological Society of America
Environmental Entomology
Journal of Economic Entomology
Journal of Medical Entomology


The new style should be called "Entomological Society of America" and it will serve as the one official style for the following Journals:

NEW STYLE DETAILS:
References and in-text citations
The ESA Journals style is based on the Council of Science Editors 8th Edition Name-year style. The official EndNote style is “XXX” and the official Reference Manager style is “XXX.”

In-text citations:
For materials with one author, enclose the first author’s surname and the publication year in parentheses, for example (Chang 1999) or (Smith 1970, 1975) to cite multiple works from the same author. For materials with two authors use both authors’ surnames and the year of publication: (Mazan and Hoffman 2001). For 3 or more authors use the first author’s surname and “et al.” like this example: (Ito et al. 1999). Finally, to cite more than one reference: list materials chronologically as follows: (Singh 2011, Davidson 2015, Harding 2018).

Here are some basic formatting points for the bibliography:
• Only reference published and formally accepted (in press) articles.
• List references alphabetically by first author surname. List multiple references from the same author chronologically.
• Add an alphabetic designator to the year in the in-text and end reference when there are references from the same author in the same year, for example: (Johnson 2023a, 2023b)
• Author names are given surname first, followed by initials—with no punctuation except for commas between authors and a period at the end.
• Include all author names unless there are more than 3. If a reference has 4 or more authors, give only the first 3 names followed by “et al.” and the publication year.
• Abbreviate journal titles according to the List of Title Word Abbreviations: Access to the LTWA | ISSN(see examples)
o Journal of Medical Entomology: J. Med. Entomol.
o Journal of Economic Entomology: J. Econ. Entomol.
o Annals of the Entomological Society of America: Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am.

• Do not abbreviate non-English titled journals.
• Systematics-related articles may specify that all serial titles be spelled out for final publication.
• When available, include the stable doi URL at the end of the reference or the doi.
