Scholarly publisher Pensoft has announced that the Swiss Entomological Society's official journal Die Mitteilungen der Schweizerischen Entomologischen Gesellschaft (Journal of the Swiss Entomological Society) is the latest historical scientific journal to join the lines of Pensoft's portfolio.
As a result of a unanimous vote at the Swiss Entomological Society's general assembly in March, the journal is now rebranded as Alpine Entomology to reflect the shift in its scope and focus. Furthermore, the renowned journal is also changing its format, submission and review process, "in accordance with the standards of modern scientific publishing", as explained in the inaugural Editorial.
The first articles of Alpine Entomology in partnership with Pensoft are already live on the journal's new website.
Alpine Entomology now accommodates a long list of high-tech perks and brand new looks thanks to ARPHA - the Pensoft-developed innovative journal publishing platform. Nonetheless, the journal preserves its well-respected expertise and dedication to original research on the insect fauna. Occasionally, it will also publish studies on other arthropods from the Alpine region or other mountainous regions all over the world.
Apart from the all-new look and feel visible at first glance, there are many technologically-advanced innovations to benefit authors, readers, reviewers and editors alike.
As a result of the fast-track and convenient publishing provided by ARPHA, each manuscript is carried through all stages from submission and reviewing to dissemination and archiving without ever leaving the platform's singular collaboration-friendly online environment.
Once published, all articles in Alpine Entomology are to be available in three formats (PDF, XML, HTML), enriched with a whole set of semantic enhancements, so that the articles are easy to discover, access and harvest by both humans and machines.
