Arachnology (ICA) will be published in 2017 in volume

Note that, in addition to the usual research/data
papers, we also invite symposium organizers or
participants to submit review papers keyed to the
topics in their symposia.
Open Access. All accepted ICA articles will be published
as “immediate open access” papers, meaning that they
will be openly downloadable from the JoA website upon
publication, at no charge either to authors or to readers
and without the need for a password.
Submissions. All submissions to the Journal of
Arachnology are now made online at
When submitting a manuscript for the proceedings,

the October 1st deadline will be considered for later
issues of the Journal.

manuscripts longer than 15 pages, authors must contact
the Managing Editor prior to submission. Review papers
may be longer than 15 pages at the discretion of the
