The Editor-in-Chief encourages the submission of original, comparative and/or global studies or other original studies of high international scientific relevance which are based on political or economic theory and use sound methodology of empirically based research. The papers should be written in a style that is understandable to policymakers and specialists from other disciplines. Acceptance for publication is subject to a refereeing process.
Submission of manuscripts
Submission of an article is understood to imply that the article is original and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Submission also implies that all authors have approved the paper for release and are in agreement with its content. Upon acceptance of the article by the journal, the author(s) will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
Research papers for consideration should be submitted to:

Types of papers
1. Research papers
2. Review articles
3. Book Reviews
Research papers should contain original information which has not have been previously published elsewhere, except in a preliminary form, and should include a clear explanation of the methodology, empirical design and/or theoretical approach used.
All papers should be 4000-6000 words or the equivalent in tables, figures and references.
The journal also publishes Review articles and other special features such as Hot Spots, Debates, etc. Review articles covering a subject of active current interest and other special features articles are contributed mainly upon the invitation of the Editor-in-Chief, but offers to contribute are welcomed. Authors wishing to contribute a review article or special feature article should contact the Editor-in-Chief beforehand with a synopsis and to obtain special guidelines as such papers are contributed in a different style from regular research papers.
Books for review should be sent for the attention of the Editor-in-Chief, c/o the Editorial Office of Forest Policy and Economics, at the address given above.
Electronic manuscripts
Electronic manuscripts have the advantage that there is no need for the rekeying of text, thereby avoiding the possibility of introducing errors and resulting in reliable and fast delivery of proofs.
For the initial submission of manuscripts for consideration, hardcopies are sufficient. Elsevier Science is now publishing all manuscripts using electronic production methods, and therefore needs to receive the electronic files of your article with two hardcopies of the accepted version. Electronic files can be submitted on floppy disks, ZIP/JAZ disks, or CD ROMs.
To ensure fast and easy processing of disk submissions, please use the following guidelines:
1. It is important that the file saved is in the native format of the wordprocessor program used.
2. Name your files using the correct extension, eg. Fig1.cdr, tbl1-6.xls, text.doc, fig1a.eps, fig1.tif, etc.
3. Save text and graphics on separate disks.
4. Label all disks with your name, journal to be published in, and filenames. Please also include details of the word-processing software, compression software, and platform (PC, Mac, UNIX etc) used in the creation of your files.
5. Ensure that electronic and hardcopy versions of your manuscript are identical. In cases of a discrepancy, the hardcopy version will be used as the definitive version by the production team.
We can accept most word-processing formats (ideally Microsoft Word or WordPerfect). Most formatting codes will be removed or replaced on processing your article so there is no need for you to use excessive layout styling. In addition, do not use options such as automatic word breaking, justified layout, double columns or automatic paragraph numbering (especially for numbered references). However do use bold face, italic, subscripts, superscripts etc. When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, please use only one grid for each separate table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is being used, use tabs to align columns not spaces. Please follow this order when you create your manuscript: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Vitae, Figure legends and then Tables. Do not import the Figures into the text file.
Preparation of manuscripts
1. Manuscripts should be written in English. Authors whose native language is not English are strongly advised to have their manuscripts checked by an Englishspeaking colleague prior to submission. Authors in Japan please note: Upon request, Elsevier Science Japan will provide authors with a list of people who can check and improve the English of their paper (before submission). Please contact our Tokyo office: Elsevier Science Japan, 915

2. Submit the original and two copies of your manuscript. Enclose the original illustrations and two sets of photocopies (three prints of any photographs).
3. Manuscripts should be typewritten, typed on one side of the paper (with numbered lines), with wide margins and double spacing throughout, i.e. also for abstracts, footnotes and references. Every page of the manuscript, including the title page, references, tables, etc. should be numbered. However, in the text no reference should be made to page numbers; if necessary, one may refer to sections. Underline words that should be in italics, and do not underline any other words. Avoid excessive usage of italics to emphasize part of the text.
4. Manuscripts in general should be organized in the following order:
Title (should be clear, descriptive and not too long) Name(s) of author(s)
Complete postal address(es) of affiliations
Full telephone, Fax No. and Email address of the corresponding author
Present address(es) of author(s) if applicable
Complete correspondence address to which the proofs should be sent
Abstract
Keywords (indexing terms), normally 36 items
Introduction
Methodology and theoretical approach
Results
Conclusions
Acknowledgments and any additional information concerning research grants, etc.
References
Tables
Figure captions
5. In typing the manuscripts, titles and subtitles should not be run within the text. They should be typed on a separate line, without indentation. Use lowercase letter type.
6. SI units should be used.
7. If a special instruction to the copy editor or typesetter is written on the copy it should be encircled. The typesetter will then know that the enclosed matter is not to be set in type. When a typewritten character may have more than one meaning (e.g. the lower case letter l may be confused with the numeral 1), a note should be inserted in a circle in the margin to make the meaning clear to the typesetter. If Greek letters or uncommon symbols are used in the manuscript, they should be written very clearly, and if necessary a note such as "Greek lowercase chi" should be put in the margin and encircled.
8. Elsevier reserves the privilege of returning to the author for revision accepted manuscripts and illustrations which are not in the proper form given in this guide.
Abstracts
The abstract should be clear, descriptive and not longer than 400 words.
Tables
1. Authors should take notice of the limitations set by the size and layout of the journal. Large tables should be avoided. Reversing columns and rows will often reduce the dimensions of a table.
2. If many data are to be presented, an attempt should be made to divide them over two or more tables.
3. Drawn tables, from which prints need to be made, should not be folded.
4. Tables should be numbered according to their sequence in the text. The text should include references to all tables.
5. Each table should be typewritten on a separate page of the manuscript. Tables should never be included in the text.
6. Each table should have a brief and self-explanatory title.
7. Column headings should be brief, but sufficiently explanatory. Standard abbreviations of units of measurement should be added between parentheses.
8. Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Leave some extra space between the columns instead.
9. Any explanation essential to the understanding of the table should be given as a footnote at the bottom of the table.
Illustrations
1. All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) should be submitted separately, unmounted and not folded.
2. Illustrations should be numbered according to their sequence in the text. References should be made in the text to each illustration.
3. Each illustration should be identified on the reverse side (or in the case of line drawings on the lower front side) by its number and the name of the author. An indication of the top of the illustrations is required in photographs of profiles, thin sections, and other cases where doubt can arise.
4. Illustrations should be designed with the format of the page of the journal in mind. Illustrations should be of such a size as to allow a reduction of 50%.
5. Lettering should be in Indian ink or by printed labels. Make sure that the size of the lettering is big enough to allow a reduction of 50% without becoming illegible. The lettering should be in English. Use the same kind of lettering throughout and follow the style of the journal.
6. If a scale should be given, use bar scales on all illustrations instead of numerical scales that must be changed with reduction.
7. Each illustration should have a caption. The captions to all illustrations should be typed on a separate sheet of the manuscript.
8. Explanations should be given in the typewritten legend. Drawn text in the illustrations should be kept to a minimum.
9. Photographs are only acceptable if they have good contrast and intensity. Sharp and glossy copies are required.Reproductions of photographs already printed cannot be accepted.
10. Colour illustrations cannot usually be included,unless the cost of their reproduction is paid for by the author.
References
1. All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text the manuscript. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of author's names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list.
2. In the text refer to the author's name (without initial) and year of publication, followed u if quoting a specific passage by a short reference to the appropriate page(s). Examples: "Since Smith (1992, p. 12) has observed that..." "Recent empirical research confirms this (Jones,1994a, pp. 16-18)".
3. If reference is made in the text to a publication written by more than two authors the name of the first author should be used followed by "et al." This indication, however, should never be used in the list of references. In this list names of first author and coauthors should be mentioned.
4. References cited together in the text should be arranged chronologically. The list of references should be arranged alphabetically on author's names, and chronologically per author. If an author's name in the list is also mentioned with coauthors the following order should be used: publications of the single author, arranged according to publication dates publications of the same author with one coauthor publications of the author with more than one coauthor. Publications by the same author(s) in the same year should be listed as 1974a, 1974b, etc.
5. Use the following system for arranging your references:
a For periodicals
M. Winter, P. Gaskell, 1998. The Agenda 2000 debate and CAP reform in Great Britain. Is the environment being sidelined? Land Use Policy 15 217231.
b For edited symposia, special issues, etc. published in a periodical
Rasmussen, L., Wright, R.F., Large-scale ecosystem experiments: ecological research and European environmental policy, 1998.
In: Rasmussen, L., Wright, R.F., (Eds.), The Whole Ecosystem Experiments of the NITREX and EXMAN Projects. Forest Ecology and Management, 101 353-363.
c For books
Gaugh, Jr., H.G., 1992. Statistical Analysis of Regional Yield Trials. Elsevier, Amsterdam.
d For multiauthor books
Hunter, I., Bird, P., 1997. Experience with Participatory Forest Management (Pfm) In The Tropics. In: Solberg, B., Miina, S. (Eds.), Conflict Management and Public Participation in Land Management. European Forest Institute, Joensuu, pp. 177-186.
6. Because of the interdisciplinary audience of the journal, periodical titles should be given in full.
7. In the case of publications in any language other than English, the original title should be retained.However, the titles of publications in nonRoman alphabets should be transliterated, and a notation such as "(in Russian)" or "(in Greek, with English abstract)" should be added.
8. Work accepted for publication but not yet published should be referred to as "in press".
9. References concerning unpublished data and "personal communications" should not be cited in the reference list but may be mentioned in the text.
Formulae
1. Formulae should be typewritten, if possible. Leave ample space around the formulae.
2. Subscripts and superscripts should be clear.
3. Greek letters and other nonRoman or handwritten symbols should be explained in the margin where they are first used. Take special care to show clearly the difference between zero (0) and the letter (O), and between one (1) and the letter l.
4. Give the meaning of all symbols immediately after the equation in which they are first used.
5. For simple fractions use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line.
6. Equations should be numbered serially at the righthand side in parentheses. In general only equations explicitly referred to in the text need be numbered.
7. The use of fractional powers instead of root signs is recommended. Also powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp.
8. Levels of statistical significance which can be mentioned without further explanation are *P 0.05, **P 0.01 and ***P 0. 001.
Footnotes
1. Footnotes should only be used if absolutely essential. In most cases it should be possible to incorporate the information in normal text.
2. If used, they should be numbered in the text, indicated by superscript numbers, and kept as short as possible.
Nomenclature
When using botanical terms, authors are requested to comply with the rules governing botanical nomenclature, as laid down in the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.
Copyright
1. An author, when quoting from someone else's work or when considering reproducing an illustration or table from a book or journal article, should make sure that he is not infringing a copyright.
2. Although in general an author may quote from other published works, he should obtain permission from the holder of the copyright if he wishes to make substantial extracts or to reproduce tables, plates, or other illustrations. If the copyrightholder is not the author of the quoted or reproduced material, it is recommended that the permission of the author should also be sought.
3. Material in unpublished letters and manuscripts is also protected and must not be published unless permission has been obtained.
4. A suitable acknowledgment of any borrowed material must always be made.
Proofs
One set of proofs will be sent to the corresponding author as given on the title page of the manuscript. Only typesetter's errors may be corrected; no changes in, or additions to, the edited manuscript will be allowed.
Offprints
1. Twenty-five offprints will be supplied free of charge.
2. Additional offprints can be ordered on an offprint order form, which is included with the proofs.
3. UNESCO coupons are acceptable in payment of extra offprints.
