Journal of the Florida Mosquito Control Association

About the Journal

The Florida Mosquito Control Association (former Florida Anti-Mosquito Association organized in 1922) publishes the Journal of the Florida Mosquito Control Association (JFMCA) without an article processing charge (APC) for all submissions and no page charges for authors and readers. The aims of the JFMCA are to exchange/share research information about new findings and discoveries, new tools/equipment, the modification & improvement of existing tools, and new techniques for surveillance and control of mosquitoes and other arthropods of medical and veterinary importance. The JFMCA publishes the scope of opinion, forum, reviews, original research articles, scientific notes, operational notes, and the FMCA’s annual meeting abstracts without page charges. The JFMCA publishes one volume per year. The FMCA has published 72 volumes with different titles of publications (reports of annual meetings, proceedings of the FAMA, the JFAMA, and the JFMCA) from 1929 to 2025. Additionally, we gradually load, collect, and publish the previous volumes, from Vol. 61 (1990) to Vol. 65 (1994) at the journal website. 

The JFMCA peer review process: The JFMCA utilized a single-blind peer review process for all submissions. The Editor-In-Chief assigns the manuscripts to the Subject Editor based on the subject and content of the manuscripts. The Subject Editor invites 2-3 scientists in the specific field to conduct the peer review. If one of the reviewers recommends rejecting the manuscript, then the Subject Editor will invite an additional 1-2 peers to review this manuscript again. The Subject Editors will decide whether to accept based on the recommendations of 2-3 peer reviewers and the authors' revisions. Additionally, the editor-in-chief invites guest editors from the specific field of the manuscript to handle peer review based on the manuscript's needs.
