The Journal of Forest and Environmental Science (JFES) is an open access, international peer-reviewed journal that is published Quarterly (March, June, September and December) by the Institute of Forest Science and financed by Kangwon National University and the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies Grant funded by Korean Government. The JFES publishes original research and commentary on the topic of forest sciences, as well as reviews of previously published research on a wide number of topics. The JFES encourages submission of papers related to forest sciences, including Forest Management and Economics, Forest Resources and Ecology, Forest and Environmental Protection (Pathology, Fire, Damage, Disturbance, Pollution, etc.), Forest Biomaterials Engineering, Paper Science and Engineering, Forest Landscape Planning and Design, Wildlife Management and Genomics, Systematics and Biogeography, Forest Recreation (Ecotheraphy, Green Tourism, etc.), Plant Ecophysiology, Plant Molecular Biology and Technology, and other forest-related topics. Manuscripts should be submitted in English. All submission should be made online at the Journal's online submission site at https://jofs.or.kr.

Types of contribution
Journal of Forest and Environmental Science is one of the international journals in forestry and publishes articles in English on any aspect of forest research in five formats: Article: Original research papers (regular papers), original and previously unpublished research or development of a theory or technique that has resulted from a completed major study leading to a significant extension of knowledge. Short communication: Preliminary publication of particularly novel and significant findings. Rapid communication: A rapid communication is intended for the rapid publication of a timely and significant work. When submitting a communication, authors must explain why its importance or timeliness justifies accelerated processing. Note: A short report on small research, newly-developed technique or simple survey. Review: A critical synthesis of information on an important topic is planned and invited by the Editorial Board.
