I want to submit my article but as you may know that their are a number of fake journals so it seems hard for to decide which one is best and trustworthy. Kindly recommend me some quality and authentic journals in field of Life Sciences.
Thank You
Asar,
This is a very broad question and it depends on the scope of the project as well as the type of invertebrates you are working with. But just to provide with you with a few journals to get you started:
Ecosphere
Journal of Economic Entomology
Environmental Management
Nature Geoscience
Oecologia
Landscape Ecology
The Coleopterists Bulletin
Journal of the North American Benthological Society
It depends upon research work, scope, results, way of presenting them, and overall impact of what you have put in paper, i will list some
Zootaxa
Australian journal of Zoology
BioControl
Journal of Insect conservation
Journal of insect Biodiversity
Zoology Ecology
Zoological science
Cellular and Molecular biology
Besides, there are some good journals
Check Biological and agricultural section here

Hi Asar,
Bradley gave you a few options, but what you are worried about concerns the huge growth in 'predatory' journals and now of course there are 'predatory' conferences and publishsers so it does mean a bit of research. For a number of years, there was the Beall's list of potential predatory journals, but this ended; however, it is still available and there is an effort to keep a more up to date list. Both of these are on the web with the links provided below. I would check any potential journal that you are considering against both lists.
Good luck!
the original list

newer list

You can communicate with the official global magazine sites and choose what suits your research interests. Thank you
A good place to start is by looking at the journal rankings in Scimago: https://www.scimagojr.com/journalrank.php?category=1109
Remember that this list does not include all of the journals in entomology. Please be very careful to avoid predatory journals/publishers as this can set back your professional life.
Even Wikipedia is useful, see their list of entomology journals (includes many in zoology) at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_entomology_journals
A suggestion for you - if you know the type of researchers you want to read your paper, publish in the journal they read and the societies they belong to.
Hello Asar; The journals you read as you worked through your project are, hopefully, credible ones. The papers cited in the papers you read probably also mostly come from the same selection of journals that you have been reading. Consider sending your manuscript to one of those as they have demonstrated that they accept papers from your field. At least this practice gets you off to a good start. Best regards. Jim Des Lauriers
You can search the journal name on the internet. Other people have the same question.
The predatory journals are mostly newer. If the journal has been published for several decades then it is a safer bet. If published by a well established professional society it is less likely to be predatory.
A bit less reliable, but ...
1) You can look at the number of times a paper in the journal has been cited and where. Journals that publish junk will have a larger proportion of articles that are never cited.
2) As already suggested, take a cue from the journals that have papers you cite.
3) Read a few articles in the journal but pay more attention to the way that they are written. Poorly edited articles will have more problems.
Avoid journals that ask for your paper, no matter how awesome they think you are. The other issue that presents, is that they think you are the most amazing scientist but it is also clear that they have no idea who you are or what you do. They copy the title of your previous paper or poster into a form letter that is sent to thousands of other amazing scientists.

Linnean Society (London; Oxford University Press https://academic.oup.com/zoolinnean
OR American Entomologist

You will need to be clearer about subject. Royal entomological Soceiety has various theme journals, as does the British Ecological Society - see their websites. Thier are now numerous other oureliable journals, If you bare citing other work in your discipline, see which journals have been publishing relate work-
Hi Asar,
You may try Journal of Asia Pacific Entomology (JAPE) or European Journal of Entomology (EJE). But then, it depends on your research interest itself. You can search the journal's website for more informations.
The best entomological scientific journals are the ISI indexed and Scopus refereed ones .
Turkish Journal of Zoology
ZooTaxa
Jordan Journal of Biological sciences
All Entomology & Zoology Journals oke dear. Look for one that publish your papers free. Journals that smell money published bad papers too.
Hi,
I propose to you canadian journal of zoology, also turkich journal, and africain entomology.
Hello
Can you notice for SGR website this included différents journals in biology
My advice is, find a journal from Journal Citation Reports list. Make sure it is indexed in Science citation index. or listed in master journal list.
The list of journals
Deleted research item The research item mentioned here has been deleted
If you find one outside this list. Make sure that journal is found in the following list. Go to the link and search with the journal name or ISSN.
http://mjl.clarivate.com/
My advise and my practice is not to publish in any of the journals which are not in above lists. You will be wasting your data.
Quick way of identifying a predatory or a low quality journals is that they use SJIF as a measure of impact of that journal. Some of these journals are indexed in web of science. So be careful, being indexed in web of science doesn't make that a good journal.
there is an entomology rankin list at

There are many good journal . the thing is what kind of research publication you are looking for . for example if you are interested in Taxonomy then Zootaxa, Zookeys, Syestematic entomolgy are good jougnal. if you are looking for pest management you can go for Biological control and european journak of Entomolgy..
All biology Journals are good. Never pay money to publish your papers and they are very bad. Look for biology journals that publish your papers free.
Many journals are here, but the time period is very long for publish a article. so some journal are response early . eg. International journal of life Sciences, Indian journal of entomology etc.
Dear Asar,
If your manuscript expounds on parasites and vectors then i will suggest the following:
-Parasites and Vectors
-Insect Science
-Journal of Vector Borne Disease
-PLos
-Insects
-Medical and Veterinary Entomology
Courage!
Silas.
I am of the same opinion as Khushhal Kumar. With Scimagojr you will find credible journals
You can try with the following journals
1. Journal of Applied Entomology
2. Journal of Insect Science
3. Journal of Pest Science
4. Applied Entomology and Zoology
5. Pest Management Science
You can publish in Journal of Economic Entomology.It is an American well indexed journal .
Dear Asar,
You are right, there are a lot of "fake" journals and most (all?) of them will charge you; so start avoiding all of those asking for your money.
Then, to suggest you appropriate journals it is necessary to know, as Santosh Singh wrote, which kind of research you wish to publish.
Before deciding, anyway, take a look at the magazine's website and check the published articles.
Till now my experience, European journal of Entomology and Journal of advanced zoology are good journal to publish. You can also check UGC approved list of journals to publish manuscript. These two journals are UGC approved.
Environmental Entomology ,It is an American refereed indexed Journal .

Journal of Asia Pacific Entomology,
European Journal of Entomology.
Could I please remind everyone to please not just repeat the title of a journal(s) or list your personal papers - instead please provide some clear reasoning why the journals or articles you are mentioning should be considered by the person who asked the question. Also, because so many titles are similar, you need to also provide the URL so that those interested can go to the journal homepage immediately. Otherwise we have a lot of answers, but really no information that addresses the question or is really helpful to the readers of these posts.
The journal publishes articles in all fields of zoology which includes: Apology, Arachnology, Arthropodology, Cetology, Conchology, Entomology, Helminthology, Herpetology, Ichthyology, Malacology, Myrmecology, Nematology, Neuroethology, Ornithology, Paleozoology, Planktology, Primatology, Zooarchaeology, Zoosemiotics, Vector Molecular Biology, Molecular Endocrinology, Pharmacology, Veterinary Sciences, Parasitology and Immunobiology.
Sherzad Ramadhan -- Which journal are you referring to that publishes in all these areas of zoology?
I prefer to publish in free open access journals, because they cost nothing and you don't waste your money on expensive magazines that exploit and abuse researchers to publish the articles.
Don’t judge a journal by its cover or name. There are no bad or good magazines, what matters is the quality of the scientific article and the content. Long live freedom of expression.
There are tens of journals. The quality of the journals is the most important factor.

European Journal of Entomology, Asia Pacific Entomology, Annual Review of Entomology, Arthropodology and Entomology.
If you paper deals with medically important vectors (Aedes, Anopheles, Culex, Mansonia, Haemagogus, ticks etc.) please submit it to Tropical Medicine & International Health. Am an editor of that journal and we try to be as fast as possible in publishing. But every paper will underggo normal peer review.
Mohammad Abdulhai - Is the journal 'Arthropodology' still being published? If possible please provide a link to the journal. Also, which journal is called 'entomology'? It is not listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_entomology_journals
A note to all posting here - please provide a link to the journals you recommend as several are hard to find or since some use the same name it is impossible to know which journal you are recommending.
Christian G Meyer - Here is the link for 'Tropical Medicine & International Health' https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/13653156 I looked it up to see what it is about as I have a paper that I want to submit somewhere but it is between the typical disciplines.
It is not the matter of question - Just heip your Google !
