About the journal
New Forests
|
New Forests publishes original papers on the fundamental and applied aspects of afforestation and reforestation for a broad international audience of scientists and practitioners. Journal articles concern the reproduction of trees and forests originating from seed, planted seedlings or coppice for the purposes of resource protection, timber production, and agro-forestry. Natural and artificial methods of regeneration and all stand structures from even-aged to uneven-aged are considered. Topics include general silviculture, plant physiology, genetics, biotechnology, ecology, economics, protection, and management of all stages in the process of afforestation and reforestation.
|
 | Types of Papers:
The types of papers include: 1.) original research papers and reviews, 30 pages; 2.) research reports, 12 pages; and 3.) book reviews and announcements, 1 page. Original research papers report results of a full-blown scientific study where conclusions are based on significant findings after thorough evaluation of the topic. Research reports present significant findings from tangential investigations that are offshoots from larger studies or from early results that will have to be confirmed through further study. Research papers and reviews will be reviewed by a coordinating editor and two reviewers. Research reports, book reviews and announcements will be reviewed by the Editor-In-Chief and, if necessary, one other reviewer.

New Forests, the biology, biotechnology and management of afforestation and reforestation, welcomes general papers, review papers and research notes. Papers or notes already published or in press elsewhere will not be considered.
Manuscripts must be written in English. Authors whose mother tongue is not English should have their manuscripts checked for the quality of the English before submission to the Journal. Particular attention should be given to consistency in the use of technical terms and abbreviations.
Any revised manuscript returned to the Journal more than one year after review will be treated like a new manuscript.
Three types of papers will be published: general papers, review papers, and research notes. Papers or notes already published or in press elsewhere will not be considered.
General PapersReport original, previously unpublished research or the development of a theory or technique resulting from a completed major study. They should not exceed 30 double spaced pages of text, including tables, figures, and references.
Review Papers
Present a critical synthesis of information on an important topic. They should not exceed 30 double spaced pages of text, including tables, figures, and references. In scheduling manuscripts for publication, preference will be given to general papers over review papers.
Research Notes
Report a completed study of smaller scope. They should not exceed 12 pages of text, including tables, figures, and references.
Permission
The author must obtain written permission from the holder of the copyright when any material protected by a copyright is included in a manuscript submitted for publication in New Forests. Similarly, the author must request permission from the editors of New Forests before producing material already published in the Journal in another form.
Presentation
Format
Papers should be typed clearly, double spaced, on only one side of approximately 21 x 28 cm (8 x 11 inch) paper. All pages must be numbered in the upper right-hand corner.
Prospective authors should consult a recent issue of New Forests to become acquainted with the Journal¡®s style and conventions. Inadequately prepared manuscripts will be returned without review.
Number of Copies
Four copies and diskette - 1 original set (manuscript and illustrations) and 3 photocopied sets - should be submitted. The author should retain at least one other complete copy. Eight gummed or self-adhesive labels bearing the address(es) for correspondence and proofs should be enclosed with the submitted manuscript.
Title Page
Page 1 should bear the title of the paper, name(s) of the author(s) and address(es) of the institution(s) on whose behalf the work was conducted, and the address where proofs should be sent (if different). The title should be concise and informative, including words useful for information retrieval. This page will be removed during the review process to ensure author anonymity; do not identify author(s) within the body of the manuscript.
Abstract and Key Words
Page 2 should repeat the title, followed by a brief, informative abstract not exceeding 200 words. A translation of the abstract in one other language (e.g. French, German, or Spanish) may be included. Five or six key words not in the title, provided for information retrieval, should precede the abstract.
Main Text
The body of the manuscript, which begins on page 3, should always include an introduction, which typically will be followed by sections describing the material and methods, results, discussion, and conclusions or implications. However, this general arrangement may be modified to suit the material being presented; informative headings are encouraged.
Footnotes
Footnotes to the text should be minimized but, where necessary, should be designated by superscript numbers in order throughout the manuscript. Text footnotes should be placed in a list at the end of the article following the acknowledgments. Footnotes to tables are handled separately (see Tables section).
Abbreviations, Nomenclature, and Units of Measurement
All abbreviations, nomenclature, and symbols for units of measurement should be the same in text, tables, and figures. Any unusual symbols or characters should be clearly identified for the printer, by a marginal note if necessary.
Abbreviations may be used as a convenience for lengthy terms or expressions. Introduce each abbreviation in parentheses, at first mention of the term or expression or group them and place after the abstract. Avoid excessive abbreviation, which can be confusing to readers.
When a species is first mentioned, its common name (if any) and scientific name (including authority) should be given. Thereafter, either the common name or scientific name without authority may be used.
For units of measurement, only SI units, and their international standardized abbreviation, should be used. Where appropriate, English equivalents may be given in parentheses following SI units.
Mathematical Material
Equations should be broken out of the text, numbered at the right margin, and surrounded by extra space. Nonstandard symbols or characters should be identified by a marginal note. Unusual or complex formulas may be requested as figures.
Figures and Tables
Results of experiments may be highlighted as either figures or tables. Figures and tables should not duplicate the text, nor should a figure and a table show the same data.
Figures
All charts, graphs, maps, photographs, etc., are considered figures, are numbered consecutively, and are referred to in the text. Each requires an adequate caption. All figure captions are to be typed as a list on a separate sheet at the end of the manuscript; do not write the caption on the figure itself. Terms, abbreviations, and symbols must correspond with those in the text. Grouping related illustrations together as "composites" under one caption is encouraged.
Line illustrations should be drawn in India ink on white paper or blue-lined graph paper and should not contain pencil or colored shading; dry transfer ("rub-on") screens are acceptable if they are not too fine to withstand reduction. Typewriter lettering is not acceptable. Choose line weights and number or letter sizes that can withstand reduction to column width (11 cm, or about 4.25 inches); height of the smallest number or capital letter should be at least 3 mm after reduction. Line illustrations may be submitted as either original drawings or black and white glossy photographs (the latter are preferred).
Halftone photographs must be supplied as black and white, high-contrast, glossy prints, already cropped to emphasize features of interest, and trimmed at right angles. Do not mount photographs. Magnification or other scaling should be indicated by a bar, or scale line, on the photograph itself.
Color plates can be inserted at the author¡®s expense. At the author¡®s request, the price of the extra production costs will be supplied by the publisher.
Each figure, whether original art, glossy print, or halftone or color photograph, should have the title of the paper, author name(s), and figure number written on the back in soft pencil or crayon. The top of each figure, if not obvious, also should be indicated on the back.
Tables
All tables are numbered consecutively and referred to in the text. Each requires an adequate heading. Terms, abbreviations, and symbols must correspond with those in the text. Footnotes, designated by superscript numerals, may be used for additional explanation. Tables should be typed separate from the text, one per page, and placed in order after the list of references. Consult a recent issue of the Journal for details of table format.
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments, if any, should follow the text and precede the references.
References
The literature references, typed double spaced as a list following the text (or acknowledgments, if any), should be arranged alphabetically. References are cited by their authors and date in the text in chronological order, for example (Kramer and Kozlowski 1979; Molina and others 1984). Consult a recent issue of the Journal for details of style (sequence, punctuation, abbreviations). Journal names should be abbreviated in conformity with Bibliographic Guide for Editors and Authors (BIOSIS, Chemical Abstracts Service and Engineering Index, Inc., 1974). Examples are:
