History In 1953, a committee within the Entomological Society of America examined the volume of literature published each year in the field and recommended that a journal be established that published review articles. The Entomological Society approached the nonprofit publisher Annual Reviews, which also agreed that there was a need for a review series in entomology. The Annual Review of Entomology published its first volume in 1956, making it the tenth title published by Annual Reviews. At first, the ESA remained involved with the operation of the journal and confirmed the editorial committee. The ESA also agreed that it would cover deficits of up to $2,500 annually in
