The evaluations of the reviewers will be send to the secretariat of the journal and discussed during the Reviewing Committee meeting. The process of evaluation/improvements transit via the secretariat of the journal.

Once a submitted article is accepted for publication in Entomologie faunistique – Faunistic Entomology, a formatted copy will be send by the editor to the author for a final review and modifications. This ultimate corrected version will be sent back to the editor with approval for publication.
