《森林政策與經濟學》是一份領先的科學期刊，出版經同行評議的有關森林、森林景觀、森林相關產業和其他森林相關土地用途的政策與經濟學研究。它還歡迎其他社會科學和人文科學觀點的貢獻，這些觀點對現有關于森林和有關土地利用系統的最新文獻作出了明確的理論、概念和方法上的貢獻。這些學科包括但不限于社會學、人類學、人文地理學、歷史學、法理學、規劃學、發展學和森林心理學研究。森林政策與經濟是全球性的，發表多種類型的高科學標準文章。接受發表需要經過雙盲的同行評審過程。找出一篇文章如果共鳴與先前的研究刊登在我們的雜志和輕松地引用這些適合規定的學術爭論,作者應該咨詢與先前的研究刊登在我們的雜志,例如通過使用搜索功能在《華爾街日報》的ScienceDirect頁面。該雜志發表了以下經過同行評審的可發表文章類型:研究論文是基于明確定義的方法和足夠的數據的完整的原始科學出版物綜述文章在分析現有國際出版物的基礎上，對特定的科學文獻領域提供了系統的、分析性的概述特刊由一組作者以前的科學交流所產生的一系列文章組成。特刊的稿件由特邀編輯邀請。我們歡迎潛在的客座編輯隨時向我們的任何一位編輯提交關于特殊問題的簡要建議，包括設想的投稿。評論是基于科學的，同行評審的，簡短的交流(大約。(1000-3000字)，表述為下列類型之一:科學評論:批判性地討論以前發表在我們的雜志或其他與我們的目標和范圍直接相關的高影響力的出版物上的研究。理想的批評是用一種批判的、直接的、建設性的方式來處理其他作者的理論、假設、方法、或結論，或兩者的混合。作者將他們的推理思路嵌入到當前的科學文獻中;批評不是基于意見。通過科學評論，作者們迅速推進了學術辯論。研究趨勢:這些文章確定了新興的經驗現象和重要的問題，應該在未來的研究中加以解決。理想情況下，這些貢獻提出研究議程，提出分析性研究問題，并為今后研究這一現象提出方法。評注應嵌入現有的科學知識和相關文獻。政策論壇:這些是關于當代國際相關的森林或與森林有關的政策問題的簡短評論文章，使研究人員、決策者和實踐者能夠及時為政策辯論作出貢獻。貢獻基于對具體政策問題的研究、專家分析、文獻綜述或實踐反思。純觀點文章將不予考慮。論壇文章應該以一種通俗易懂的風格撰寫，并輔以真實世界的例子和/或參考的科學證據。

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.
