Manuscript Auditing →01Impact factor
Impact factor of Pest Management Science (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Pest Management Science published in the two previous years, divided by the number of those papers. That is the same formula as the Journal Impact Factor, applied to the open citation data of OpenAlex. The journal is listed in JCR 2024, so it also has an official Journal Impact Factor published by Clarivate, which can differ because it counts citations from Web of Science journals only.
Rank in its subject categories
- Entomologyrank 9 of 112 journals
- Agronomyrank 22 of 137 journals
Ranks here compare journals of the same Web of Science category in our data by 2-year citedness; they are not the official JCR rank.
Quartile of Pest Management Science
A journal's quartile (Q1 to Q4) is its position within a subject category: Q1 is the top quarter. The official quartiles are published by Clarivate in Journal Citation Reports (by Journal Impact Factor, in Web of Science categories) and by Scimago as the SJR quartile (in Scopus categories). Pest Management Science is listed in JCR 2024, so its JCR quartile is in Journal Citation Reports. It is indexed in Scopus, so Scimago shows its SJR quartile. ScholarsColab does not show a quartile until it can show the official one; the impact factor and rank above are calculated from open data.

Each paper took a different time. The green box holds the middle half of the papers and the dark line is the median; the whiskers reach the fastest 10% and the slowest 10%. Plan with the whole spread, not only the median.
Half of the research articles Pest Management Science published between Aug 2026 and Oct 2026 were accepted within 110 days of submission, and the middle half took between 75 and 149 days. This time includes peer review and any revision rounds. Papers that were rejected are not counted, because only published papers carry these dates.

05How to submit
How to submit to Pest Management Science
- Read the guide for authors. It sets the article types, word limit, reference style and file format that Pest Management Science accepts. You find it on the official website of the journal, usually under "For authors" or "Submit".
- Use the journal's template. John Wiley and Sons Ltd offers Word and LaTeX templates for many of its journals. If your manuscript is in Word and the journal wants LaTeX, our LaTeX Template Conversion moves it into the template.

- Check the fee. Pest Management Science is not a fully open access journal, so authors usually pay nothing unless they choose open access for their article or the journal charges page or colour fees. The guide for authors states the current charges.
- Check your manuscript before you submit. The free Submission Readiness Check asks the seven questions our reviewers ask in every audit and takes about 2 minutes.
