Ellenőrzőlista a benyújtás előkészítéséhez

A benyújtási folyamat része, hogy a szerzők ellenőrizzék le a benyújtandó anyaguk mindenben megfelel az alábbi listában szereplő elvárásoknak, és azokat a beadványokat, amelyek nem tartják be a az útmutatóban leírtakat, azokat vissza lehet küldeni a szerzőnek.
  • A beküldött anyag nem lett korábban publikálva, és megelőzően egy másik folyóiratnál sem lett lektorálva (bővebb magyarázatot lásd a Megjegyzések a szerkesztőnek résznél).
  • A benyújtott fájl OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, RTF, dokumentum fájlformátum.
  • Ahol lehetséges, ott megadott DOI-s vagy URL-es hivatkozásokat.
  • A szöveg egyes sorközzel; 12 pontos betűmérettel; használjon dőlt formázást az aláhúzott kiemelés helyett (kivéve az URL címek); és minden illusztráció, ábra és táblázat a helyére kerüljön és ne a szöveg végére.
  • A szöveg betartja azokat a stiláris és bibliográfiai követelményeket, amelyek a Szerzői útmutatóban szerepelnek.

Author Guidelines

APIS is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to research on honey bees and pollinator-related systems, including beekeeping, apitherapy, bee biology, pollination ecology, technology, and rural development.

The journal operates under a Gold Open Access model and publishes content under the Creative Commons licence CC BY-NC-ND, allowing free access and non-commercial use of all published articles.

Submission of a manuscript implies that it contains original, unpublished work and is not under consideration elsewhere.

Authors should consult the Fees and Community Contribution section for information regarding administrative contributions.

Authors are required to comply with the APIS Generative AI and AI-Assisted Technologies Policy.

Language and Submission

Manuscripts must be written in English (British spelling). Authors whose native language is not English are encouraged to have their papers reviewed by a fluent English speaker prior to submission.

Submissions are made through the online system.

Article Types

The journal accepts original research articles, case studies, review articles, short communications, technical notes, and conceptual or perspective papers.

General Formatting

Authors are asked to keep their manuscripts concise. Footnotes should be avoided. Use continuous line numbering in the text file. Italics should be used only for scientific names.

General Manuscript Structure

Kutatás

Original Research articles present novel scientific findings based on experimental, observational, or theoretical work in the field of bee-related science.

Submissions must include a clear research objective, appropriate methodology, and analysis of results. Studies may cover biological, environmental, chemical, ecological, or applied aspects of bees and apiculture.

All manuscripts submitted to this section undergo double-blind peer review by independent experts. A minimum of two reviewers are required, and editorial decisions are based on scientific merit, methodological soundness, and relevance.

Case Study / Case Report

Case Studies present structured clinical or applied cases relevant to apiculture, bee products, and their biological or health-related effects.

Submissions should include a clear description of the case, context, intervention or observation, and outcomes, supported by appropriate documentation and discussion.

While case-based, these contributions should provide scientific or professional insight beyond anecdotal reporting.

All manuscripts submitted to this section undergo double-blind peer review by independent experts.

Review Article

Review Articles provide a comprehensive and critical synthesis of the scientific literature on a topic relevant to apicultural science, apitherapy, bee health, pollinator biology, or related disciplines. These manuscripts evaluate and integrate existing evidence, identify knowledge gaps, and highlight implications for research and practice. Review Articles do not primarily present new experimental data and are subject to peer review.

Conceptual / Perspective

Conceptual and Perspective articles present theoretical frameworks, methodological considerations, and scholarly reflections relevant to bee science, apiculture, and related disciplines.

These contributions aim to advance scientific understanding by proposing new concepts, standardization approaches, or interdisciplinary perspectives.

While not based on original experimental data, submissions should be grounded in relevant literature and provide clear, well-argued reasoning.

Manuscripts are evaluated by the editorial team and are not subject to external peer review.

Practice report

Practice Reports describe real-world applications, professional experience, and observational insights related to apiculture and bee-related practices.

These contributions may include field observations, applied methods, or case-based experiences that are relevant to practitioners and researchers.

Practice Reports are typically descriptive and may not follow a formal experimental design; however, clarity, transparency, and relevance are required.

These contributions aim to support the exchange of knowledge between research and practice.

Submissions are evaluated by the editorial team and are not subject to external peer review.

Historical Note

Historical Notes present analyses of the historical development of apiculture, bee science, and related practices.

These contributions may include historical case studies, biographies, archival research, or the documentation of past practices and events relevant to the field.

Submissions should be well-documented and based on verifiable sources.

Historical Notes are evaluated by the editorial team and are not subject to external peer review.

Book Review

Book Reviews provide critical summaries and evaluations of recently published books relevant to bee science, apiculture, and related fields.

These contributions aim to inform readers about important literature and contextualize its relevance to the field.

Book Reviews are evaluated by the editorial team and are not subject to external peer review.

Cikkek

Letters to the Editor provide a forum for scholarly discussion, comments on previously published articles, or brief observations relevant to the journal’s scope.

Submissions should be concise and focused. Where appropriate, authors of the original article may be invited to respond.

Letters are evaluated by the editorial team and are not subject to external peer review.
