TYPES OF CONTRIBUTION

Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research accepts original articles concerning research relevant to forests and forestry of boreal and temperate regions, including the forestry-to-wood production chain. The journal aims to cover the whole field of forest research from basic to more applied subjects. Contributions shall be of high scientific quality and international interest. The form of the manuscripts may be original research articles (important findings of original research), review articles (critical synthesis of an important topic) or a short communication (findings from a smaller project or preliminary results of larger projects, these may not exceed four printed pages).

SUBMISSION

All submissions should be made online at Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research's Manuscript Central site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre.

Upon receipt, the manuscript will be sent to at least two referees for review. You should suggest 4-6 independent and qualified reviewers.

Authors are requested to restrict the length of the manuscript as much as possible. Please note: if an article exceeds 8 printed pages (about 15 typewritten pages including tables and figures, 20 lines at 15 cm per page) the cost of the excess pages will be charged to the author at a rate of USD 190 per printed page.

Arrangement It is presupposed that manuscripts submitted are in their final form. All manuscripts should be written in English of an acceptably high standard. Authors with a mother tongue other than English are recommended to have the language revised separately. Manuscripts should be double-spaced with a left-hand margin, including reference list, tables and figure legends. The SI system which includes the metric system, should be used throughout. Footnotes and letter-spacing are not allowed in the main text. Scientific genera and taxa of lower rank should be marked with italics.

Each manuscript component should begin on a new page, in this sequence:

Title page, Abstract and Keywords, Text, Acknowledgements, References, Tables, Figure legends, Figures

Title page The title page should contain; title of paper, running headline (max 40 characters), all author's first and last names, addresses, and the telephone, fax and e-mail of the corresponding author. The main title should contain the words necessary for correct indexing with species names in Latin. Titles should be as brief as clarity permits.

Abstract and Keywords The manuscript should open with an abstract which should not exceed 200 words (for short communications maximum 150 words). The abstract of a research article of short communication shall describe the problem, methods, main results and conclusions. A review article abstract usually describes the overall aim of the review rather than summarizing its content. The abstract shall be followed by 3 to 7 keywords, in alphabetic order.

Text The following headings should normally be used: INTRODUCTION, MATERIALS AND METHODS, RESULTS, DISCUSSION.

The Introduction should provide a general orientation of the subject and present the reasons for and aims of the study. It should be concisely written. References should be cited chronologically. Materials and methods must provide information enough to permit exact replication of the experimental work. The models underlying any statistical analysis must be clearly stated. Spelled-out names of variables are preferred to acronyms. Results should be clear, concise and as objective as possible. No discussion of the results is permitted in this section. Indicate on separate lines the approximate position of figures and tables. Discussion should not repeat results, but in a logical way interpret and put in perspective the main results with reference to relevant figures, tables and references. The discussion should be concisely written and end with conclusions.

Acknowledgements

Acknowledgements can be used to mention financial suppliers and others who contributed to the research and the manuscript. It shall be simply phrased.

References All publications cited in the text must be presented in the reference list and vice versa. Authors are responsible for crosschecking citations and reference list. References should only be made to published, available material. Reference citations in the text should be written: Lyly and Saksa (1992), Wasserstein et al. (1994) (if more than two authors). Two or more references in parentheses should appear in chronological order (Lyly & Saksa, 1992; Wassterstein et al., 1994). Personal communications should not be included in the reference list but in text only: T. K. Lutes (personal communication, April 18, 2001).

The format of the reference list follows the APA Style guide.

Examples:

Lyly, O. & Saksa, T. (1992). The effect of stand density on moose damage in young Pinus sylvestris stands. Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research, 7, 393-403.

Kroppenstedt, R. M. (1985). Fatty acid and menaquinone analysis of actinomycetes and related organisms. In M. Goodfellow & D.E. Minnikin (Eds.), Chemical methods in bacterial systematics (pp. 173-199). London, United Kingdom: Academic Press.

Spell out journal and organization names.

Publications in any language other than English, but with an English abstract, should be presented with their English title. Publications without an English abstract or English title should keep the original title, but be given a transliterated title in English in square brackets. Titles and author names in non-Latin alphabets should be transliterated. A notation such as "(In Russian.)" or "(In Swedish with English abstract.)" should be added to the reference.

For more examples, see reference guide

Tables Each table should be numbered with an explanatory heading, and written on a separate page. The tables must be planned to fit to a final width of 8 or 16 cm.

Figures All electronically submitted illustrations shall be in its final size, planned to fit a width of 8 or 16 cm. Numerical and alphabetical notations must be large enough to be fully legible (1.5 – 2 mm). One uniform final size of letters is generally recommended.

Diagrams shall be boxed in and scale marks provided on all axes. Foldouts and colour illustrations are permitted, provided the author bears the cost. The cost to the author is USD 750 per printed page. List figure legends on a separate page.

Keep illustrations as separate files, e.g. EPS, TIFF, JPEG. The colour must be CMYK, not RGB; all fonts must be embedded, and the resolution of images should be of a quality suitable for printing; i.e. files downloaded from web pages are not suitable, they will look acceptable on screen but not when printed. Do not use colour files if black and white only output is required.

Please use these simple guidelines when preparing your electronic manuscript:

1. Please be consistent. The same elements should be keyed in exactly the same way throughout the manuscript.
2. Do not break words at the end of lines. Use a hyphen only to hyphenate compound words
3. Enter only one space after the full-stop at the end of a sentence.
4. When emphasising words, please use the italic feature of your word processor software.
5. Do not justify your text; use a ragged right-hand margin.
6. Use a double hyphen (--) to indicate a dash in text.
7. Do not use the lowercase l for 1 (one) or the uppercase O for 0 (zero).

The space bar should only be used as a word separator. Use TAB when indenting paragraphs or separating columns in tables.
