The journal Wood Material Science and Engineering aims to serve at the forefront of the wood science and technology field and accepts original articles relevant to:

• Wood material science with emphasis on: water-wood relations, wood durability, wood modification, wood mechanics, wood composites, engineered wood products, and eco-efficient wood based products
• Wood engineering, i.e. the application of the wood material science to the design, manufacturing, building, and use of machines, constructions etc. In this aspect the link between the nature of the wood material and the properties of the final wood products in-service is of outmost importance.

Review papers may also be accepted but the topic should be discussed with the editor before submission.
