Dear friends, a new online journal on entomology (possibly the first in Ukrainian and Russian) is being published. With the kind permission of the editor-in-Chief, I include information about this magazine in this topic. For the convenience of the Russian-speaking public, I translate it into Russian.

Dear colleagues,

To the web page of "Ukrainian entomofaunistics"

The Kiev Branch of the Ukrainian Entomological Society and the Institute
of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine inform you that since April 2010 we
are publishing a new online magazine "Ukrainian Entomofaunistics", which aims to publish for a wide range of entomologists: annotated faunal lists, illustrated with photos and drawings of naturalistic and faunal notes about little-known insect species in Ukraine and neighboring countries, as well as checklists, catalogues, biographical and bibliographic materials that are of interest to the entire entomological community, but cannot be published in paper form due to lack of publishing resources.

The journal has an ISSN, a permanent email address, and will publish articles in Ukrainian, Russian,and English.

We invite all of you to become our authors and look forward to your improvements and critical comments!

We invite you to visit the magazine's website so that you can learn more about the rules for authors and the advantages (and, of course, disadvantages) of our magazine!

sincerely yours,

Valery Korneev,

Ukrainian Entomofaunistics — the first Ukrainian online entomological journal

The Kiev Branch of the Ukrainian Entomological Society and the I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine inform you about the creation of the first online entomological journal in Ukraine "Ukrainskaya Entomofaunistyka".

What will our magazine publish? Mainly primary faunal materials (ecological and faunal reviews of regional entomofauna, notes and short reports on new faunal finds), catalogues of collection materials and bibliographic summaries, as well as historical and biographical materials about Ukrainian entomologists.

Why publish in "Ukrainian Entomofaunistics"? The most significant achievement of an amateur entomologist, aspiring scientist, student, or graduate student is numerous faunal finds and the results of observations of insects in nature. As is well known, so far there has not been a journal in Ukraine that publishes such information: "serious" scientific journals-Vestnik Zoologii, Izvestiya Harkovskogo Entomologicheskogo Obshchestva-either do not publish such works at all (except for short notes), giving preference to more significant scientific generalizations, or publish them with the same content. too late. This is often due to the lack of space in magazines published on paper, as well as the slowness of the printing process.

Our journal offers express publication — within 7-15 days from the date of acceptance of the manuscript by the editorial board. The volume of manuscripts is not limited by anything, except common sense and ease of perception by the reader. We welcome publications that contain color photographs of natural research objects and the habitats they inhabit, as well as color maps and diagrams. Publications of this kind are important for monitoring those insect groups where the level of scientific novelty is insignificant, but where information about repeated finds of species is always necessary (for example, butterflies, individual groups of beetles, aquatic insects).

The manuscripts are reviewed by three well-known Ukrainian entomologists-specialists in the field of taxonomy and ecology of various groups of insects. Manuscripts are accepted for publication in electronic format — in Ukrainian, Russian, English and other languages that the author knows best and depending on the reader he or she addresses his or her article to. If the author wants to publish an article in a foreign language, we sincerely recommend that a native speaker who is also well versed in grammar and punctuation should read the manuscript (keep in mind that American, English, German and Turkish professors are also excellent specialists who make annoying mistakes when writing!).

The Russian version of the "Rules for Authors" will be published on the site a little later, but we hope that the format for preparing label lists and literature is clear
without translation.

The magazine can be accessed via the Internet from any computerised location. Any publication can be saved as an" electronic print " in pdf format. Publishing materials is completely free of charge. Individual publications are copyrighted by their authors. We are planning a completely "free subscription": everyone will be notified about the release of a new issue of the magazine by email.

The journal has an international serial number and is a full-fledged periodical. The frequency of publication of issues of the journal throughout the year is not constant and depends on the receipt of materials to the editorial office.

What should I keep in mind? According to the requirements of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine, at least 3 articles of the author must be published in specialized journals, the list of which is approved by the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine. We do not plan to make "Ukrainian Entomofaunistics" exactly a "VAKOV" journal — its task is quite different: based on the materials published here, lists, catalogs and observations, dissertators can make serious generalizations that can be published in a specialized publication with a link to an article in "Ukrainian Entomofaunistics".

We do not plan to print a paper version of the magazine: anyone can print a pdf file on their own and optionally bind it into a cover.

Editors and reviewers of the journal work exclusively on a voluntary basis and ask you to prepare the manuscript for publication very carefully (needless to say, illiterate works or those that do not meet the rules for authors will be returned for revision without detailed comments and reviewing). But we hope that there will be no such problems: entomology is an exceptionally noble science, and entomologists are the most educated people among scientists in general.

The launch of a new magazine is always good news, keep it up!
The main thing is to keep the quality bar, I take my hat off to future editors, and I hope for their strong nerves. What will be sent by amateur faunalists will require remarkable endurance and tact! (In the" Checklist " authors are returned 80% of the sent articles!)
There are already several similar projects on the web, for example, "Checklist" - published for 5 years, Brazil (materials are mainly on South America, but there is also the Palearctic).
http://www.checklist.org.br/toc
ZooNotes-published since 2009, Bulgaria (employees of Plovdiv University print themselves, the meaning of this, frankly speaking, is not clear to me).
www.zoonotes.bio.uni-plovdiv.bg
Read the advertising annotation of UE, one moment caused a question, the complete absence of a paper version. According to the Zookadex, the publication must be sent to at least 5 libraries in the world (in paper version). UE declares only the faunal orientation, but does this exempt it from the minimum mandatory paper circulation? (read the main page of "Checklist"

Victor:

Thank you for your greetings to the magazine. I hope that something will "break off" from you, especially if it is based on Ukrainian materials: after all, in the next five-year plan, we will (I hope) work hard in the field of check lists.

I already replied to you this morning, but I didn't send it: it flew off. Therefore, I repeat: the editorial board will return everything that contains nomenclature acts, with a recommendation to put it in any paper journals.

Last year, there was a lot of talk about amendments to the Code, according to which online journals can also constitute a fact of publication in the sense of the Code. If it was adopted since 2010 (which I don't know anything about!) if they accept it, the question will disappear by itself.

I have deliberately discarded both parameters-VAK and paperiness, since they involve contacts with the bureaucratic system - and I do not want to spend the rest of my life, already blighted by academic councils and administrative work, on this beautiful part of humanity. Fortunately, the Law of Ukraine on Mass Media is so old that there is no mention of online magazines in it. Well, what is not forbidden is allowed. When the time comes , we'll have to work on this segment as well.

I think that the percentage of returns will automatically be very high: 20 years of editorial experience suggests that authors are divided mainly into lazy and inattentive, with a significant degree of overlap between these sets.

The work of an editor, as you know, is similar to the work of a proctologist: we see all the authors from their most unappetizing side, moreover, unkempt and unwashed. So we have a lot of patience and communication experience. But the reviewers will have fun in full...

I can't help but agree: I've made a mess that I'll have to deal with again and again, and I'll have to deal with it myself... But-observations of attempts to revive the "Ukrainian Entomological Journal" on the basis of "Zahistu Roslin" this year convinced me that this case will be stillborn-by definition. This means that you need a log. Even if we fill it out ourselves.

So good luck and inspiration to new authors!

We plan to fully "free prepayment": all interested parties will be notified about the release of a new issue of the journal by e-mail.

"free
There was a misunderstanding in the translation here, you should read: "We plan that all interested parties will be notified about the release of a new issue of the magazine by e-mail."

To do this, I invite everyone interested to simply join the group of the magazine ukrentfau on GoogleGroups: you will regularly receive messages about the magazine's news and new issues.

As for my not very great ability to sculpt web pages: well, get into the situation, I'm super old, first of all, and then, secondly, this is not a royal matter at all.

In general, all this is on the page of the magazine, but indeed the 5(1) issue for 2014 is missing and is not listed in the side columns of 2014. Just watch the content.
