Scope
Published semiannually, the International Journal of Forest Engineering (IJFE) is committed to serving the international forest engineering community as the voice of new ideas and developments in forest engineering. An important role of the IJFE is to report on existing practices and innovations in forest engineering by scientists and professionals from around the world which promote environmentally sound forestry practices and contribute to sustainable forest management.
Article Types
The IJFE is dedicated to the dissemination of scholarly writings in all aspects of forest operations, focusing on original research, but also including review, analysis, and synthesis articles. Article topics include: tree harvesting, processing, and transportation; stand establishment, protection, and tending; operations planning and control; machine design, management, and evaluation; forest access planning and construction; human factors engineering; and education and training.
