2001年，《昆蟲科學雜志》在亞利桑那大學圖書館的支持下由亨利·哈格多恩博士創辦，他擔任主編直到2014年1月去世。2014年，美國昆蟲學會非常高興地將《昆蟲科學雜志》納入其出版目錄。這本完全開放獲取的雜志發表了昆蟲和其他節肢動物生物學的各個方面的論文，從分子到生態，以及它們對農業和醫學的影響。

The Journal of Insect Science was founded with support from the University of Arizona library in 2001 by Dr. Henry Hagedorn, who served as editor-in-chief until his death in January 2014. The Entomological Society of America was very pleased to add the Journal of Insect Science to its publishing portfolio in 2014. The fully open access journal publishes papers in all aspects of the biology of insects and other arthropods from the molecular to the ecological, and their agricultural and medical impact.
