Osmia[1] (ISSN 2727-3806) is a scientific journal published in English and French about Hymenoptera research, born in 2007[2][3]. It is published by the Observatoire des Abeilles, a French and Belgian society for wild bees knowledge and protection [4][5]. The items are peer-reviewed and avalaible online, in open access, under a free licence CC BY 4.0.

History[edit]

The first volume is published in 2007 with Nicolas Vereecken (today professor at Université Libre de Bruxelles) as first editor-in-chief who runs the journal until 2012 [6][7]. Osmia originally publishes articles about Apoidea (bees and spheciforms). One issue is published each year, except in 2011. The journal knows an interruption and, in 2016, a new team leaded by Benoît Geslin (senior lecturer at Université Aix-Marseille) takes care of the journal . An issue is published each two years (2016, 2018) before taking a annual rythm from 2020. In 2020, a publication "by item" is adopted and the current website[1] is produced, as well as new indexing tools, giving a better audience to the journal. In 2021, the team takes a decision: to enlarge the scope to all Hymenoptera[8].

Availability[edit]

The website of the first editor-in-chief initially hosts the journal[9].Then the journal is hosted by the publishing society, the Observatoire des Abeilles, on its website[10]. In 2020, a dedicated website[1] is made. All the charges are paid by the society; this allows the journal to be free for the authors as well as the readers[11].

Validity of taxa descriptions[edit]

The journal scrupulously follows the rules and recommendations of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. The descriptions of taxa are then perfectly valid[12].

Indexing and archiving[edit]

The journal is indexed (and sometimes archived) by Crossref, Zoobank, HAL, Zenodo, OpenAIRE, Google Scholar and Web of Science (Clarivate) [Zoological Record][1].
