The "Baltic Journal of Coleopterology" publishes original papers on all aspects of beetle (Coleoptera) research, particularly focusing on the questions related to the fauna, distribution, taxonomy, ecology, biology, and conservation of beetles in the Baltic region.

The "Baltic Journal of Coleopterology" will accept full papers (up to 30 pages of A4 format) and short reports (up to 6 pages of A4 format), papers on research methodology (up to 6 pages of A4 format), bibliography reviews (up to 6 pages of A4 format), papers on didactics (up to 6 pages of A4 format), as well as other materials reflecting the study of beetles. If the material to be published exceeded the above volumes, the authors are requested to previously contact the Editor.

Priority will be given to articles on taxonomy and description of new species.

Faunistic papers should include important information about the distribution of the studied species or those newly detected. The authors are kindly requested to respect and follow the recommendations and requirements of "The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature" (1985). New taxa described in the material to be published must be represented and accessible in a collection.

All submitted articles need to be written in English and sent by e-mail to the Editor. In case of poor English of the submitted article the authors will have to pay for linguistic revision. Every article, picture, or table should be sent as a separate file.

Format requirements: MS Word, font: Times New Roman, 10, line spacing: single (1). Blank line between paragraphs, no first-line indent.

All papers submitted are reviewed by at least two anonymous experts, after which they are sent to the authors for proof-reading. Papers which are written in inadequate English, containing out-dated or irrelevant information, or failed to meet the notes for authors are not accepted for publication.

Recommended check list for writing a paper: Title, author's full name(s), abstract (not more than 300 words), key words (not exceeding the length of a line), full address, including an e-mail address, manuscript text. It is recommended to divide the body of the text into the following chapters: Introduction, material and methods, results, discussion, conclusions, acknowledgements, references.
