About the journal
Publication history
Currently known as:
- International Journal of Forest Engineering (2001 - current)
Formerly known as
- Journal of Forest Engineering (1989 - 2001)
Aims and scope
Scope: Research papers in all aspects of forest operations, both empirical and theoretical. Most published articles are original research, but review articles are also welcome. An important role of the International Journal of Forest Engineering (IJFE) is to report on existing practices and innovations in forest engineering by scientists and professionals from around the world to promote environmentally sound forestry practices and contribute to sustainable forest management.
IJFE’s scope includes operations related to the management, harvesting, processing and transport of forest biomass to industry or other users, but normally excludes industrial manufacturing processes (e.g. sawmilling, pulp and paper manufacturing), bioenergy production, materials strength testing, etc. which occur following transport. Our scope applies to all kinds of forest management (e.g. short and long rotation; uneven-aged and even-aged; agroforestry) associated with the production of forest biomass.
Examples of topics typically covered by the IJFE are:
- tree harvesting, processing and transportation
- stand establishment, protection and tending
- operations planning, management and control
- machine design, management and evaluation
- forest access planning and construction
- human factors engineering
- education and training of personnel who work in the forest and provide support to forest engineering operations
If there are uncertainties about whether a manuscript might fall within the IJFE’s scope, please contact the Editor. For manuscripts related to the industrial manufacturing processes, bioenergy production, materials strength testing, etc. we recommend authors consider publishing in the Forest Products Journal.
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind and submission is online via Editorial Manager.
Instructions to Authors
This journal uses Editorial Manager to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for Editorial Manager authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below. Contents

Preparing Your Paper
Structure
Your paper should be compiled in the following order: title page; abstract; keywords; main text introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion; acknowledgments; declaration of interest statement; references; appendices (as appropriate); table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages); figures; figure captions (as a list).
Word Limits
Please include a word count for your paper.
A typical paper for this journal should be no more than 8000 words, inclusive of tables, references, figure captions.
Style Guidelines
Please refer to these quick style guidelines when preparing your paper, rather than any published articles or a sample copy.
Please use American spelling style consistently throughout your manuscript.
Please use double quotation marks, except where “a quotation is ‘within’ a quotation”. Please note that long quotations should be indented without quotation marks.
Papers may be submitted in Word format. Figures should be saved separately from the text. To assist you in preparing your paper, we provide formatting template(s).
Word templates are available for this journal. Please save the template to your hard drive, ready for use.
If you are not able to use the template via the links (or if you have any other template queries) please contact us here.
Pertinent scientific literature, old as well as new, should be cited. Keep up to date with recent publications, especially in IJFE and in Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering. Avoid a too narrow focus in your literature search – most often research done in different conditions, countries and/or continents can be of high relevance when putting studies in a general context.
