Abstract

This
July 2019 issue of Acarological
Studies (AS) serves as the Congress Proceedings for the 15^th
International Congress of Acarology (XV ICA) which was held from 2 to 8
September, 2018 in Antalya, Turkey. The proceedings include 13 papers accepted
for publication after review by at least two reviewers and linguistic editing.
I sincerely thank the numerous acarologists who reviewed the submitted papers
and ultimately, the accepted papers. I am sure that these articles will be
widely read and referenced and also help stimulate studies on the wonderful,
diverse world of acarology.

Acarological
Studies, which provides full, open access, started life at
the beginning of this year. This July issue completes the first year of issues
of AS.
During its first year, AS will
have been published twice on-line and have included 22 papers spanning 175
pages in total. AS is
expected to give a new impetus to acarology and be an important
new platform for acarological research results. With your continuing support, AS
will, step by step, reach that objective with each new issue.
