Palaeoentomology: a summary of 2018–2023

The historical background for founding Palaeoentomology was already discussed in Azar et al. (2018) and some bibliometric data were summarized in Zhang (2023). Here we share further details and our experiences in the early days during the founding of this journal in the hope that these may benefit other professional societies who may wish to develop their own journals. We updated bibliometric data to the end of 2023 and summarized new taxa described in the journal during the last six years. We also highlighted the importance of media in communicating science to the general public and outlined some minor changes in the editorial structure and process from 2025.
