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.

《森林政策與經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)》是一份領(lǐng)先的科學(xué)期刊，出版經(jīng)同行評(píng)議的有關(guān)森林、森林景觀、森林相關(guān)產(chǎn)業(yè)和其他森林相關(guān)土地用途的政策與經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)研究。它還歡迎其他社會(huì)科學(xué)和人文科學(xué)觀點(diǎn)的貢獻(xiàn)，這些觀點(diǎn)對(duì)現(xiàn)有關(guān)于森林和有關(guān)土地利用系統(tǒng)的最新文獻(xiàn)作出了明確的理論、概念和方法上的貢獻(xiàn)。這些學(xué)科包括但不限于社會(huì)學(xué)、人類學(xué)、人文地理學(xué)、歷史學(xué)、法理學(xué)、規(guī)劃學(xué)、發(fā)展學(xué)和森林心理學(xué)研究。森林政策與經(jīng)濟(jì)是全球性的，發(fā)表多種類型的高科學(xué)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)文章。接受發(fā)表需要經(jīng)過雙盲的同行評(píng)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(guī)定的學(xué)術(shù)爭論,作者應(yīng)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?qǐng)?bào)》的ScienceDirect頁面。該雜志發(fā)表了以下經(jīng)過同行評(píng)審的可發(fā)表文章類型:研究論文是基于明確定義的方法和足夠的數(shù)據(jù)的完整的原始科學(xué)出版物綜述文章在分析現(xiàn)有國際出版物的基礎(chǔ)上，對(duì)特定的科學(xué)文獻(xiàn)領(lǐng)域提供了系統(tǒng)的、分析性的概述特刊由一組作者以前的科學(xué)交流所產(chǎn)生的一系列文章組成。特刊的稿件由特邀編輯邀請(qǐng)。我們歡迎潛在的客座編輯隨時(shí)向我們的任何一位編輯提交關(guān)于特殊問題的簡要建議，包括設(shè)想的投稿。評(píng)論是基于科學(xué)的，同行評(píng)審的，簡短的交流(大約。(1000-3000字)，表述為下列類型之一:科學(xué)評(píng)論:批判性地討論以前發(fā)表在我們的雜志或其他與我們的目標(biāo)和范圍直接相關(guān)的高影響力的出版物上的研究。理想的批評(píng)是用一種批判的、直接的、建設(shè)性的方式來處理其他作者的理論、假設(shè)、方法、或結(jié)論，或兩者的混合。作者將他們的推理思路嵌入到當(dāng)前的科學(xué)文獻(xiàn)中;批評(píng)不是基于意見。通過科學(xué)評(píng)論，作者們迅速推進(jìn)了學(xué)術(shù)辯論。研究趨勢(shì):這些文章確定了新興的經(jīng)驗(yàn)現(xiàn)象和重要的問題，應(yīng)該在未來的研究中加以解決。理想情況下，這些貢獻(xiàn)提出研究議程，提出分析性研究問題，并為今后研究這一現(xiàn)象提出方法。評(píng)注應(yīng)嵌入現(xiàn)有的科學(xué)知識(shí)和相關(guān)文獻(xiàn)。政策論壇:這些是關(guān)于當(dāng)代國際相關(guān)的森林或與森林有關(guān)的政策問題的簡短評(píng)論文章，使研究人員、決策者和實(shí)踐者能夠及時(shí)為政策辯論作出貢獻(xiàn)。貢獻(xiàn)基于對(duì)具體政策問題的研究、專家分析、文獻(xiàn)綜述或?qū)嵺`反思。純觀點(diǎn)文章將不予考慮。論壇文章應(yīng)該以一種通俗易懂的風(fēng)格撰寫，并輔以真實(shí)世界的例子和/或參考的科學(xué)證據(jù)。
