International Journal of Forest Engineering
Scope: Research papers in all aspects of forest operations, both empirical and theoretical. Most published articles are original research, but review articles are also welcome. An important role of the International Journal of Forest Engineering (IJFE) is to report on existing practices and innovations in forest engineering by scientists and professionals from around the world to promote environmentally sound forestry practices and contribute to sustainable forest management.
IJFE’s scope includes operations related to the management, harvesting, processing and transport of forest biomass to industry or other users, but normally excludes industrial manufacturing processes (e.g. sawmilling, pulp and paper manufacturing), bioenergy production, materials strength testing, etc. which occur following transport. Our scope applies to all kinds of forest management (e.g. short and long rotation; uneven-aged and even-aged; agroforestry) associated with the production of forest biomass.
Examples of topics typically covered by the IJFE are:
- tree harvesting, processing and transportation
- stand establishment, protection and tending
- operations planning, management and control
- machine design, management and evaluation
- forest access planning and construction
- human factors engineering
- education and training of personnel who work in the forest and provide support to forest engineering operations
If there are uncertainties about whether a manuscript might fall within the IJFE’s scope, please contact the Editor. For manuscripts related to the industrial manufacturing processes, bioenergy production, materials strength testing, etc. we recommend authors consider publishing in the Forest Products Journal.
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind and submission is online via Editorial Manager.
