Journal of Forest Products Business Research
Purpose
The purpose of the Journal of Forest Products Business Research (JFPBR) is to provide a forum for the publication of timely, rigorous, technically sound, scientific research manuscripts that focus on the forest industry. This international, peer-reviewed, technical e-journal is dedicated to the recognition and growth of the academic field of forest products business, particularly management and marketing. The JFPBR strives to disseminate new knowledge bridging the scientific and professional communities.
Article Types
The JFPBR accepts three types of manuscripts: scientific papers, synthesis papers, and editorials. Regardless of type, articles contribute something new to the body of scientific knowledge in the broad fields of forest products business and marketing. Research papers, theoretically or empirically oriented, describe investigations directed to the discovery of new knowledge. Synthesis papers summarize published and unpublished information that describe the state-of-the-art in scientific knowledge on a topic. Editorials allow members of the scientific community to express their opinions regarding the field and the state of research.
Publication Process
All published articles have undergone initial review by the Editor, Steven Shook, University of Idaho, a double-blind review process with two reviewers deemed technically capable of such review, as well as review from one member of the Editorial Board.
Editorial Board
The Editorial Board consists of:
- Steven Shook, University of Idaho, Editor;
- Lyndall Bull, Australian National University;
- Robert Bush, Virginia Tech;
- Eric Hansen, Oregon State University;
- Rob Kozak, University of British Columbia;
