Request a sales quoteForest Policy and Economics is the leading hub for social sciences research on forests. It developed into a globally 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. These disciplines include, but are not limited to, sociology, anthropology, human geography, history, jurisprudence, planning, development studies, and psychology research on forests. We only welcome works that make clear theoretical, conceptual or methodological contributions to the existing state-of-the-art literature. This includes a systematic positioning of works in recent international literatures. We, hence, discourage simple case studies, surveys, consultancy works or reports, which do not make such universal contributions and which do not reflect beyond the individual case.
Forest Policy and Economics is global in scope and acceptance for publication is subject to a double-blind peer-review process. The journal publishes the following, article types, all of which are peer-reviewed and fully citable:
Regular research articles are full-length original scientific publications based on clearly defined methods and adequate data
Review articles provide a systematic, analytical, and global overview of a specific field of scientific literature based on the systematic analysis of a well-defined body of existing international publications
Special Issues consist of a collection of articles resulting from previous scientific exchange among a group. Potential Guest Editors are invited to submit 1-3 page proposals for Special Issues, including envisaged contributions, to [email protected]
Commentaries are science-based, peer-reviewed, short communications formulated as one of the following types:
- Science Critiques critically discuss previous research published in our journal or in other high-impact outlets.
- Research Trends (including book reviews) identify emerging empirical phenomena and issues of importance that should be addressed by future research.
- Policy Forum 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.
