The "Just Published" block includes resources that provide up-to-date information on Coleoptera. The first three are published on the Pensoft Publishers platform.
- Biodiversity Data Journal
The Biodiversity Data Journal (BDJ) is a peer-reviewed, open access scientific journal that specializes in publishing biodiversity-related research and data. It includes taxonomic, floristic/faunistic, morphological, genomic, phylogenetic, ecological and environmental data on any taxon and from any part of the world. It is published by Pensoft Publishers. It is based on a continuous publishing model. The first issue was published in 2013.
In 2025, BDJ launched a portal hosted by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) that allows for glimpse visualizations and linking of published articles to data occurrences in GBIF, increasing the visibility of the data portion of articles. - ZooKeys
ZooKeys is a peer-reviewed, open access, online and print scientific journal that focuses on all fields of zoology. A strong emphasis is placed on- taxonomy,
- descriptions of new taxa,
- phylogeny,
- biogeography and evolution of animals.
It is one of the journals with the largest number of published new taxa in zoology. It is published by Pensoft Publishers. It was founded in 2008.
- Contribution to Entomology
Contributions to Entomology (formerly "Beiträge zur Entomologie" in German) is an internationally peer-reviewed scientific journal that specializes in entomology. It publishes original scientific papers in areas such as- Systematics (taxonomy, phylogeny, biosystematics)
- Insect zoogeography and faunistics
- Applied entomology
- Entomological bibliography and history of entomology
The publisher is the Senckenberg German Entomological Institute (Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut) in Müncheberg, Germany. It is an official publication of the German Society for General and Applied Entomology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für allgemeine und angewandte Entomologie, DGaaE). Since 2017 it is an Open Access journal. Since 2022 it is published on the ARPHA platform of Pensoft Publishing. It is published twice a year.
- Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift
Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift is one of the most significant and oldest entomological journals worldwide. Founded in 1857 by the Entomological Society in Berlin, it has undergone numerous structural and publishing changes. Today, it is issued under the auspices of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin and published by Pensoft. Throughout its long history, the journal has maintained a high scientific standard and has become a traditional venue for major taxonomic and systematic contributions.
The journal focuses on systematic zoology of insects with an emphasis on taxonomy, phylogeny, evolution, morphology, and nomenclature. Although open to all insect orders, it has traditionally published many studies on Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, and other major lineages. DEZ accepts comprehensive revisionary works, descriptions of new species or genera, methodological papers, and contributions dealing with historical taxonomy or nomenclatural issues.
Its transition to an open-access model has further increased global accessibility and reinforced its role within the international systematic community. The journal publishes in English, with strong emphasis on clarity, high-quality illustrations, and strict adherence to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. It is indexed in major scholarly databases, and its long publishing tradition makes it an authoritative reference source across the field of zoological taxonomy. - Baltic Journal of Coleopterology
Baltic Journal of Coleopterology is an international peer-reviewed periodical specializing in the scientific study of beetles (Coleoptera). Established in 2001, the journal originally aimed to connect entomologists from Northern, Eastern, and Central Europe, but it gradually developed into a platform with broad international reach. Its editorial board traditionally includes experts from the Baltic states, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic, while submitted studies frequently extend beyond these regions.
The journal focuses on systematics, taxonomy, morphology, faunistics, biogeography, ecology, and general biology of all beetle groups. It publishes original research articles, faunistic surveys, taxonomic revisions, descriptions of new species, and shorter scientific notes. Considerable emphasis is placed on regional diversity and distributional data, making the journal a valuable source for biogeographic analyses and monitoring of Central European and Palaearctic beetle fauna.
It is issued twice per year in both print and electronic formats and is indexed in key zoological databases. Owing to its relatively efficient publication workflow, the journal is frequently used for disseminating taxonomic novelties and specialised studies that may be difficult to place in broader entomological periodicals.
