FOREST POLICY AND ECONOMICS

Forest Policy and Economics is a leading scientific journal that publishes peer-reviewed policy and economics research relating to forests, forested landscapes, forest-related industries, and other forest-relevant land uses. It also welcomes contributions from other social sciences and humanities perspectives that make clear theoretical, conceptual and methodological contributions to the existing state-of-the-art literature on forests and related land use systems. These disciplines include, but are not limited to, sociology, anthropology, human geography, history, jurisprudence, planning, development studies, and psychology research on forests. Forest Policy and Economics is global in scope and publishes multiple article types of high scientific standard. Acceptance for publication is subject to a double-blind peer-review process.To find out if an article resonates well with previous research published in our journal and to easily refer to these works for stipulating academic debate in the field, authors should consult with previous research published in our journal, e.g. by using the search functions at the top of the journal's ScienceDirect page.The journal publishes the following, peer-reviewed, citable article types:Research articles are full-length original scientific publications based on clearly defined methods and adequate dataReview articles provide a systematic, analytical overview of a specific field of scientific literature based on the analysis of existing international publicationsSpecial Issues consist of a collection of articles resulting from previous scientific exchange among a group of writers. Contributions to Special Issues are invited by the Guest Editor(s). Potential Guest Editors are invited to submit brief proposals for Special Issues, including envisaged contributions, to any of our Editors at any time.Commentaries are science-based, peer-reviewed, short communications (approx. 1000-3000 words) formulated as one of the following types:Science Critiques: Critically discuss previous research published in our journal or in other high-impact outlets with direct relevance to our aims and scope. Critiques ideally address other authors' theories, hypotheses, methodologies, or conclusions, or a mix thereof, in a critical and straightforward yet constructive manner. Authors embed their line of reasoning into current scientific literature; critiques are not based on opinion. Through Science Critiques, authors quickly advance scholarly debate.Research Trends: These articles identify emerging empirical phenomena and issues of importance that should be addressed by future research. Ideally, such contributions propose research agendas, raise analytical research questions, and propose methods for the future study of the phenomenon. The commentaries should be embedded in existing scientific knowledge and related literature.Policy Forum: These are short commentary pieces on contemporary, internationally relevant forest or forest-related policy issues that enable researchers, policy makers, and practitioners to make timely contributions to policy debates. Contributions are based on research, expert analysis, literature review, or practitioner reflections regarding concrete policy issues. Pure opinion pieces will not be considered. Forum articles should be written in an accessible style and supported by real world examples and/or referenced scientific evidence.

《森林政策与经济学》是一份领先的科学期刊，出版经同行评议的有关森林、森林景观、森林相关产业和其他森林相关土地用途的政策与经济学研究。它还欢迎其他社会科学和人文科学观点的贡献，这些观点对现有关于森林和有关土地利用系统的最新文献作出了明确的理论、概念和方法上的贡献。这些学科包括但不限于社会学、人类学、人文地理学、历史学、法理学、规划学、发展学和森林心理学研究。森林政策与经济是全球性的，发表多种类型的高科学标准文章。接受发表需要经过双盲的同行评审过程。找出一篇文章如果共鸣与先前的研究刊登在我们的杂志和轻松地引用这些适合规定的学术争论,作者应该咨询与先前的研究刊登在我们的杂志,例如通过使用搜索功能在《华尔街日报》的ScienceDirect页面。该杂志发表了以下经过同行评审的可发表文章类型:研究论文是基于明确定义的方法和足够的数据的完整的原始科学出版物综述文章在分析现有国际出版物的基础上，对特定的科学文献领域提供了系统的、分析性的概述特刊由一组作者以前的科学交流所产生的一系列文章组成。特刊的稿件由特邀编辑邀请。我们欢迎潜在的客座编辑随时向我们的任何一位编辑提交关于特殊问题的简要建议，包括设想的投稿。评论是基于科学的，同行评审的，简短的交流(大约。(1000-3000字)，表述为下列类型之一:科学评论:批判性地讨论以前发表在我们的杂志或其他与我们的目标和范围直接相关的高影响力的出版物上的研究。理想的批评是用一种批判的、直接的、建设性的方式来处理其他作者的理论、假设、方法、或结论，或两者的混合。作者将他们的推理思路嵌入到当前的科学文献中;批评不是基于意见。通过科学评论，作者们迅速推进了学术辩论。研究趋势:这些文章确定了新兴的经验现象和重要的问题，应该在未来的研究中加以解决。理想情况下，这些贡献提出研究议程，提出分析性研究问题，并为今后研究这一现象提出方法。评注应嵌入现有的科学知识和相关文献。政策论坛:这些是关于当代国际相关的森林或与森林有关的政策问题的简短评论文章，使研究人员、决策者和实践者能够及时为政策辩论作出贡献。贡献基于对具体政策问题的研究、专家分析、文献综述或实践反思。纯观点文章将不予考虑。论坛文章应该以一种通俗易懂的风格撰写，并辅以真实世界的例子和/或参考的科学证据。
