Editorial summary

The public source identifies “European Journal of Entomology” as scientific journal. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around European, Journal and Entomology.

Editorial reviewUseful for establishing the present vocabulary of the subject while preserving a route back to the evidence on which that vocabulary rests. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1904, 2011, 2016—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1993. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with European, Journal and Entomology providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “European Journal of Entomology”, the useful work is to connect “scientific journal” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15150175. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1904, 2011 and 2016.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
