Instructions to Authors
Types of Papers
The Canadian Journal of Forest Research (Can. J. For. Res.), one of the leading international journals in forestry, publishes articles in English or French on any aspect of forest research in five formats:
- Article: Original and previously unpublished research or development of a theory or technique that has resulted from a completed major study leading to a significant extension of knowledge.
- Note: Completed project of smaller scope. Not used for preliminary publication or as a progress report, and should be fewer than 12 double-spaced typewritten pages plus a few figures or tables.
- Discussion: Reader’s comments on a paper published in the Journal, to which full reference must be given in a title.
- Review: A critical synthesis of information on an important topic.
- Rapid communication: Preliminary publication of particularly novel and significant findings. Should be accompanied by a letter in which the author justifies publication as a rapid communication. Should not exceed 8 double-spaced typewritten pages, including tables and figures. Sufficiently descriptive to allow repetition of the work. Will be either accepted without revision, or rejected (can be resubmitted in revised or expanded form as a note or full article). Published shortly after acceptance; no proofs are sent to the author.
What Constitutes Prior Publication
It has long been a policy of the Canadian Journal of Forest Research to not publish manuscripts that have been published elsewhere. The Editorial Board considers a paper not eligible for publication if most of the content of the paper (i) is under consideration for publication or is published in a journal, or book chapter; (ii) is under consideration for publication or is published in a conference proceedings or a government publication, with a substantial circulation (distributed to 100 or more individuals over a wide area); (iii) has been posted on the internet, accessible to all viewers. Authors who are required by their employer to place results on intranet sites (normally not accessible by the public) should protect their information by including a statement that this is to be for internal use only. They should also indicate this to the editors when submitting manuscripts for review. Abstracts or extended abstracts related to conferences do not constitute prior publication. Extended abstracts are usually under 2000 words and do not include presentation of detailed tables and graphics of the results of the study.
Conflict of Interest and Disclosure
The Editor recognizes that authors and peer reviewers may have real or perceived conflicts of interest arising from intellectual, personal, or financial circumstances of their research. Submitted manuscripts should include full disclosure of funding sources for the research and the letter of transmission should include an explanation of any real or perceived conflicts of interest that may arise during the peer review process.
Submission of Manuscripts
At the time of submission corresponding authors should provide a hard copy and electronic version of a letter that gives assurance that
(i) their manuscript represents original work that is not being considered for publication, in whole or in part, by another journal,
(ii) the manuscript is one of a kind, or part of a study or thesis from which other manuscripts may be generated,
(iii) all of the authors have read and approved the manuscript, and provides
(iv) the names of colleagues who have reviewed the manuscript in the final stages, and
(v) the names, addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail addresses of four to six persons who are qualified to act as referees.
(vi) an explanation of any real or perceived conflicts of interest (see section Conflict of Interest and Disclosure).
Authors should also provide
(i) copies of related manuscripts not already published (also see Prior Publication above), and
(ii) signed copyright release forms signed by all authors (see Journal or NRC Research Press Web site).
NRC Research Press maintains the right to preserve the technical quality of the Journal.
The Manuscript
The original copy, three duplicates, and an electronic copy (see below) are required. Double-sided copies are not acceptable. All parts of the manuscript, including footnotes, references, tables, captions for illustrations, and appendices should be typewritten, double spaced, on white paper with numbered lines, 21.6 ?27.9 cm (8??11 in.), with margins of 2.5 cm (1 in.); lines need not be justified. Alternatively, lines 10 to 20 on each page can be hand numbered; referees find such numbering helpful. Use italic font only for material that is to be set in italics. Use capital letters only when the letters or words should appear in capitals in the printed paper. Each page of the manuscript should have the first author’s name and the page number in the upper right-hand corner. The first page should have only the title, the authors?names, affiliations, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail addresses, and any necessary footnotes. The abstract appears on the second page, followed by the text and the reference list. Tables and captions for illustrations must be on separate pages and placed after the reference list.
Submission of electronic copy ?Authors are requested to submit the manuscript and the accompanying letter both in hard-copy format and on disk. Authors should ensure that the electronic version submitted is identical to the hard copy of the final manuscript. Text files and figure files should be submitted on separate disks. All disks must be labeled clearly with the authors?names. Text (including tables) should be provided in a word-processing format (any form of WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, or TeX is preferable, IBM compatible or Macintosh). TeX macros for preparing papers for submissions are available at ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nrc/, ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nrc/, and ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nrc/. Identify the word-processing software, version number, corresponding file names and extensions, and type of computer used (IBM or Macintosh). For figures, refer to the section "Preparation of electronic illustration files." Include a statement in the letter accompanying the manuscript that the version on the disk exactly matches the final hard copy version.
Spelling should follow that of Webster’s Third New International Dictionary or the Oxford English Dictionary. Authors are responsible for consistency in spelling.
Abbreviations, nomenclature, and symbols for units of measurement should conform to international recommendations and be the same in the text and figures. SI units (Système international d’unités) should be used or SI equivalents should be given. This system is explained and other useful information is given in the Metric Practice Guide (2000) published by CSA International (178 Rexdale Blvd., Toronto, ON M9W 1R3, Canada). For practical reasons, some exceptions to SI units are allowed. As a general guide for biological terms The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers: Scientific Style and Format (6th edition, 1994) published by the Council of Biology Editors, Inc., Chicago, IL 60603, U.S.A., is recommended. For enzyme nomenclature, Enzyme Nomenclature: Recommendations (1992) of the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Academic Press, San Diego, Calif., 1992) should be followed. Abbreviations and contractions of the names of substances, procedures, etc., must be defined the first time they occur. When a species is first mentioned, the vernacular name (if any) and the scientific name (italic), with the author, should be given. Subsequently, either the vernacular or the scientific name, without the author, may be used. Symbols and unusual or Greek characters should be identified clearly; superscripts and subscripts should be legible and carefully placed.
Statistical analyses The assumptions and (or) the model underlying any statistical analysis should be clearly stated. Symbols such as * and **, denoting levels of significance, should not be used except in conjunction with the actual values of the associated test statistic; actual p values are preferred.
Title The title should be concise and informative, with appropriate words for indexing and information retrieval. In the title, the names of organisms should be either in the vernacular or in Latin without their authors.
Abstract The abstract, typed on a separate page, should be headed by the full bibliographic reference. It should contain not more than 200 words. References should not be included unless they are absolutely essential and complete bibliographic information is given. The names of organisms should be in Latin and the authors should be given. Authors are encouraged to submit abstracts in both fluent English and French.
References ?The author is responsible for verifying each reference against the original article. Each reference must be cited in the text, using the surnames of the authors and the year, e.g., (Green 1970) or Green and Brown (1981). If there are three or more authors, the citation should give the name of the first author followed by et al. (e.g., Green et al. 1969). If references occur that are not uniquely identified by the authors?names and year, use a, b, c, etc., after the year, e.g., Green 1983a, 1983b, in the text citation and in the reference list.
The reference list must be double-spaced and placed at the end of the text. References must be listed in alphabetical order according to the name of the first author and not numbered. References with the same first author are listed in the following order:
(i) Papers with one author only are listed first in chronological order, beginning with the earliest paper.
(ii) Papers with dual authorship follow and are listed in alphabetical order by the last name of the second author.
(iii) Papers with three or more authors appear after the dual-authored papers and are arranged chronologically.
References should follow the form used in current issues of the Journal as in the following examples.

The names of serials are abbreviated in the form given in CASSI (Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index, Chemical Abstracts, P.O. Box 3012, Columbus, OH 43210, U.S.A.) or in BIOSIS Serial Sources (BIOSIS, 2100 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-1399, U.S.A.). If in doubt, authors should write the name of the serial in full. References to nonrefereed documents (e.g., environmental impact statements, contract reports) must include the address where they can be obtained. Private communications, reports not yet accepted for publication, and unavailable documents are not references and should be included in the text in parentheses or in a footnoted with names and initials of all authors.
Footnotes to material in the text should not be used unless they are unavoidable, but their use is encouraged in tables. Where used in the text, footnotes should be cited in the manuscript by superscript Arabic numbers (except in the tables, see below) and should be numbered serially beginning with any that appear on the title page. Each footnote should be typed on the manuscript page on which the reference to it is made; footnotes should not be included in the list of references.
Equations should be clearly typed; triple-spacing should be used if superscripts and (or) subscripts are involved. Superscripts and subscripts should be legible and carefully placed. Distinguish between lowercase l and the numeral one, and between capital O and the numeral zero. A letter or symbol should represent only one entity and be used consistently throughout the paper. Each variable must be defined in the text, or in a List of symbols to appear after the reference list. Variables representing vectors, matrices, vector matrices, and tensors must be clearly identified. Numbers identifying equations must be in square brackets and placed flush with the left margin. In numbering, no distinction is made between mathematical and chemical equations. Routine structural formulas can be typeset and need not be submitted as figures for direct reproduction, but they must be clearly depicted.
Tables ?Each table should have an Arabic number and a brief title. Each table must be referred to in the text but should be self-explanatory. Column headings should be brief but may be amplified by footnotes. Vertical rules should not be used. A copy of the Journal should be consulted to see how tables are set up. Footnotes in tables should be designated by symbols (*, ? ? ? ll, ? #) or superscript lowercase italic letters. Descriptive material not designated by a footnote may be placed under a table as a Note. Tables should be typed on separate pages and placed after the list of references.
Appendices ?Figures and tables used in an appendix should be numbered sequentially but separately from those used in the main body of the paper, for example, Fig. A1, Table A1, etc.
Supplemental material ?The National Research Council of Canada maintains a depository in which supplementary material may be placed, either at the request of the author or suggestion of the Editor. Such material may include extensive tables of data, detailed sections calculations, and maps not essential for understanding and evaluating the paper. Such material must be clearly marked when the manuscript is submitted. Tables and figures should be numbered in sequence separate from those published with the paper (e.g., Fig. D1, Table D1). The supplemental material should be referred to by footnotes. Copies of material in the depository may be purchased from the Depository of Unpublished Data, CISTI, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, ON K1A 0R6, Canada.
Illustrations
Provide photographic reproductions, laser printouts, or the original artwork (no larger than 27.9 *43.2 cm (11 *17 in.)) of each illustration. Provide three sets of illustrations for review purposes.
Each figure or group of figures should be planned to fit into one or two columns of text. The maximum finished size of a one-column illustration is 8.6 *23.7 cm (3.4 *9.3 in.) and that of a two-column illustration is 18.2 *23.7 cm (7.2 *9.3 in.). The figures (including halftones) must be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals, and each one must be referred to in the text and self-explanatory. All terms, abbreviations, and symbols must correspond with those in the text. Only essential labelling should be used, with detailed information given in the caption. Each illustration must be identified by the figure number and the authors?names on the back of the page or in the left-hand corner, well away from the illustration area.
Line drawings should be made with black ink or computer-generated in black on high-quality white paper or other comparable material. For computer-generated illustrations, supply a laser print at the highest resolution available. Photocopies are not acceptable. All lines must be sufficiently thick (0.5 points minimum) to reproduce well, and all symbols, superscripts, subscripts, and decimal points must be in good proportion to the rest of the drawing and large enough to allow for any necessary reduction without loss of detail. Avoid small open symbols; these tend to fill in upon reproduction. Also avoid patterns with shades of gray; instead, use clearly distinguishable well-spaced dots or diagonal lines. Lettering produced by dot matrix printers or typewriters, or by hand, is not acceptable. The same font style and lettering sizes should be used for all figures. Characters should be scaled so the minimum height is 1.5 mm and the maximum height 2.5 mm.
Maps must have very clear, bold patterns and must show longitudes and latitudes (or UTM coordinates) and a scale. On maps of Quebec, the official name of municipalities must be used (e.g., Québec, Montréal, Clarke City) and physical features must be in French (e.g., Lac Bienville) except for those that are considered of pan-Canadian significance (see list below), which should be presented in the language of the paper. Quebec (the province) must also appear in the language of the paper. Names that should be presented in the language of the paper on a map of Quebec are as follows:
|
Lake Abitibi / Lac Abitibi |
Quebec (province) / Québec |
|
Anticosti Island / Île d'Anticosti |
Restigouche River / Rivière Ristigouche |
|
Atlantic Ocean / Océan Atlantique |
Saguenay River / Rivière Saguenay |
|
Chaleur Bay / Baie des Chaleurs |
Saint John River / Rivière Saint-Jean |
|
Hudson Strait / Détroit d’Hudson |
St. Lawrence River / Fleuve Saint-Laurent |
|
James Bay / Baie James |
Gulf of St. Lawrence / Golfe du Saint-Laurent |
|
Laurentian Mountains / Les Laurentides |
Lake Timiskaming / Lac Témiscamingue |
|
Ottawa River / Rivière des Outaouais |
Ungava Bay / Baie d’Ungava |
Photographs should be of high quality, continuous tone on glossy paper, with strong contrast. The copies for reproduction should be trimmed to show only essential features and mounted on thin flexible white bristol board with no space between those arranged in groups. A photograph, or group of them, should be planned to fit into the area of either one or two columns of text with no further reduction. Electron micrographs or photomicrographs should include a scale bar directly on the print. The best results will be obtained if the authors match the contrast and density of all figures arranged as a single plate.
Colour illustrations will be at the author’s expense. Further details on prices are available from Suzanne Kettley, Managing Editor of the Journal (tel.: (613) 993-9088; fax: (613) 952-7656; e-mail: suzanne.kettley@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca).
NRC Research Press prefers the submission of electronic illustration files for accepted manuscripts and will use these electronic files whenever possible. If electronic files are not available, paper versions of the figures will be scanned. Note that the scanner will easily reproduce flaws (e.g., correction fluid, smudges). Submission of noncontinuous (screened) photographs and scanned illustrations printed out on laser printers is not recommended as moirés develop. (A moir?is a noticeable, unwanted pattern generated by rescanning or rescreening an illustration that already contains a dot pattern.)
Preparation of electronic illustration files
Authors must supply electronic graphic files and high-quality, hard-copy originals. Electronic files (i.e., figure number and figure content) should match the originals. On the disk label, identify (i) the software application and version and (ii) file name(s), size, and extension. If you have compressed your files, indicate what compression format was used. PC or Macintosh versions of True Type or Type 1 fonts should be used. Do not use bitmap or nonstandard fonts. Electronic files can be accepted on 3?in. disks, 100 MB Zip cartridge, and CD-ROM.
The preferred graphic application of NRC Research Press is CorelDraw! For other applications that can be used, see the "Electronic graphics list".
All figures should be submitted at their final published size. For figures with several parts (e.g., a, b, c, d, etc.) created using the same software application, assemble them into one file rather than sending several files.
Remember that the more complex your artwork becomes, the greater the possibility for problems at output time. Avoid complicated textures and shadings, especially in vector illustration programs; this increases the chance for a poor-quality final product.
Bitmap (raster) files Bitmaps are image files produced using a grid format in which each square (or pixel) is set to one level of black, colour or grey. A bitmap (rasterized) file is broken down into the number of pixels or picture elements per inch (ppi). Pixel per inch is sometimes referred to as dots per inch (dpi).
The proper resolution should be used when submitting bitmap artwork. The minimum requirements for resolution are 600 dpi for line art and finelines (line art with fine lines or shading), 300 dpi for halftones and colour, and 600 dpi for combinations (halftones with lettering outside the photo area).
All colour files submitted must be as CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). These colours are used in full-colour commercial printing. RGB graphics (red, green, and blue; colours specifically used to produce an image on a monitor) will not print correctly.
Vector files Vector files are image files produced using elements such as lines and shapes. Typically these files are used for line drawings.
Bitmaps inside vector files ?Bitmaps can be imported into vector/draw applications only for the purpose of adding and overlaying information, lines, text, etc. Bitmaps should not be resized, cropped, rotated, or otherwise manipulated after importing.

The senior author’s telephone, fax, and e-mail numbers should be listed on the manuscript and on any correspondence.
Peer review A manuscript that is suitable for review will be assessed by anonymous referees and an Associate Editor who will make recommendations on its acceptability for publication. The final decision on a manuscript’s acceptability will be made by a Co-editor.
Permission to reprint ?Whenever a manuscript contains material (tables, figures, charts, etc.) that is protected by copyright, it is the obligation of the author to secure written permission from the holder of the copyright to reproduce the material in both print and electronic formats. These letters must accompany the submitted manuscript.
Once the paper has been accepted, all correspondence should be with NRC Research Press, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, ON K1A 0R6, Canada.
Galley proofs A galley proof, illustration proofs, the copy-edited manuscript, and a reprint order form are sent to the author. Galley proofs must be checked very carefully, as they will not be proofread by NRC Research Press, and must be returned within 48 hours of receipt. The proof stage is not the time to make extensive corrections, additions, or deletions, and the cost of changes introduced by the author that are deemed to be excessive will be charged to the author.
Reprints If reprints are desired, the reprint order form must be completed and returned with payment (cheque, credit card number, purchase order number, or journal voucher) together with the corrected proofs and manuscript. Orders submitted after the Journal has been printed are subject to considerably higher prices. The Journal does not provide free reprints and reprints are not mailed until a purchase order number or payment is received.
Copyright transfer All authors are required to complete a copyright transfer form assigning all rights to NRC. Copyright transfer forms are available from the Editors, in the first issue of each volume, or on the Web site of NRC Research Press.
Requests for permission to republish the paper, in whole or in part, should be addressed to Judy Gorman (tel.: (613) 993-0151; e-mail: judy.gorman@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca).
