Thank you for your interest in the Entomological Society of America's publications. ESA publishes several journals with different publication formats and costs, as shown in the table below. There is no charge to publish Letters to the Editor, Editorials, and Student Debates.
Some ESA publications carry standard publication charges. Standard publication charges may be discounted or waived depending on the corresponding author's geographic location. ESA members without financial support for publication may apply for a standard publication waiver for one article annually1. This waiver does not cover open-access publication. ESA members receive a 20% discount on open-access fees. Learn more about ESA membership.
Oxford University Press (OUP) has a growing number of "Read and Publish" agreements with institutions and consortia that provide funding for open-access publishing. Authors from participating institutions can publish open access, and the institution may pay the charge. Find out if your institution has a "Read and Publish" agreement with OUP.
Oxford University Press automatically waives or discounts article processing charges (APCs) in fully open-access journals for eligible authors as part of its developing countries waiver policy. ESA's fully open-access journals are: Journal of Insect Science, Arthropod Management Tests, and Journal of Integrated Pest Management. See if you qualify for an APC waiver or discount: Developing Countries APC Waiver Policy.

4For authors of papers submitted before September 1, 2025: Prior to the flat-fee pricing structure, these journals applied page charges of $142 per page for nonmembers and $95 per-page for members. The new flat fee for standard publication will apply to all papers submitted September 1 or later, as they are likely to be published in 2026. For authors who submitted prior to September 1 but whose article will publish in a 2026 issue, we are pleased to apply the new fee structure as a courtesy. While this will benefit the majority of authors, authors who wish to opt out and pay the page charge fee instead should contact the ESA editorial office at pubs@entsoc.org.
