Instructions to Authors
General
The Canadian Institute of Forestry/Institut forestier du Canada (CIF/IFC) has published The Forestry Chronicle, a professional and scientific forestry journal, since 1925. It is published bi-monthly for members of the CIF/IFC and other subscribers throughout the world.
The Forestry Chronicle is published to provide information to forest practitioners about professional and scientific management of forests and their resources. The Forestry Chronicle provides forest practitioners in Canada and around the world with a means to communicate with their peers in the professional community. In addition to invited and submitted professional and scientific papers, the various Departments of The Forestry Chronicle (e.g., the Guest Editorial, President抯 Perspective, Personals, Institute Affairs and school and professional association news and conference listings), record and encourage comment on significant developments of general interest in Canadian and international forestry.
Types of Papers
Professional paper: essays that report on a program of work, describe a position on an issue, or present a case for a point of view in the area of forestry (e.g., conference proceedings/presentations).
Scientific/Technical paper: articles that present forest research results or an analytical literature review on a scientific or technical subject. Scientific papers are original and previously unpublished papers. Scientific papers are peer-reviewed.
Notes: short communications that report important findings, usually a completed project of smaller scope. Not used for preliminary publication or as a progress report.
Note: Papers maybe voluntary or invited for submission to The Forestry Chronicle. There is a charge of $100.00 per printed page. The page charges include one table for each page of article. Additional tables are $11.00 each.
Prior Publication Explanation
The Forestry Chronicle has a policy not to publish professional/scientific and notes that have been published previously, so as to maintain single copyright of the material. The Forestry Chronicle considers an article not eligible for publication if most of the
content of the paper
- is under consideration for publication or is published in a journal or book chapter
- is under consideration for publication or published in a conference proceedings or a government publication with a substantial circulation
- has been posted on the Internet accessible to all viewers Abstracts or extended abstracts related to conferences do not constitute prior publication.
Submission of Professional, Scientific, Technical Manuscripts
A covering letter should accompany three copies of the manuscript. The covering letter should provide the following information from authors:
- The manuscript represents original work and is not being considered for publication, in whole or in part, by another journal.
- All the authors have read and approved the manuscript.
- Names, addresses, telephone, and fax numbers and e-mail addresses of authors.
- Head and shoulder photographs of each author.
- Signed copyright release form signed by all authors.
Diskette submissions are not required until after acceptance, that is, after revisions have been completed.
Structure of the paper / Style
In general, The Forestry Chronicle conforms to the CBE Style Manual, A Guide for Authors, Editors and Publishers in the Biological Sciences.
Titles / heading ?Do not use 揳ll caps?in titles or heading. Titles should be kept short?no more than 10 words.
Author documentation ?all authors?names and complete mailing address should be included at the bottom of the cover page.
Submit the original and two copies of the manuscript, typed double-spaced on white bond paper 8?x11 in. with wide margins; preferably with numbered lines. The first page should contain only the title, the authors, and footnote giving the authors?affiliation.
Footnotes should be numbered consecutively throughout the paper, except in tables.
Headings and subheadings should be flush left in upper and lower case letters. References should be listed alphabetically under the heading References and referred to by the author and date, e.g., (McPherson et al. 1982) for:
McPherson, J.A., E.K. Morgenstern and B.S.P. Wang. 1982. Seed production in
grafted clonal orchards at Longlac, Ontario. For. Chron. 58(1): 31?4.
(a) Single-author articles precede multiple-author articles for which an individual is the senior author.
(b) Two or more articles by the same author(s) are listed chronologically; two or more in the same year are indicated by letter a, b, etc.
(c) All published works in the text should be listed; all listed references should be notated in the text.
(d) Material not available through libraries (e.g., personal communication, privileged data) should be cited in the text in parenthesis.
(e) Book references must include authors?names, year, title, publisher, city and number of pages (p.) (in that order).
(f) Chapter references from books must include author(s), year, chapter, and title, In editor(s), book title, pages (pp.), publisher and city (in that order).
(g) Articles, symposium proceedings etc, follow similar reference format. In review articles or articles where references are of incidental interest, the references may be numbered and referred to in the text by number. Use footnotes for references to unpublished material.
Submission of Manuscripts on Disk
The final accepted copy of the manuscripts should be submitted on disk (3.5 in diskette, CD-ROM) in Word or WordPerfect for PC as well as a hard copy. The disk copy and the hard copy should be identical. When the disk copy or parts of it (such as equations or special characters) are not easily transferable across software), cannot be read, the hard copy will be referred to as the correct version. Tables and equations may need to be rekeyed, and should be checked carefully by the authors in the proof.
When preparing a paper for submission on diskette, follow the publication style as
closely as possible with regard to headings, capitalization, etc. (see a recent issue of The Forestry Chronicle).
Specific points:
- Use the numeral 1 (not lowercase l (ell)) for the number one.
- Use the numeral 0 (not capital O) for the zero.
- Do not double space after a period.
- Be consistent in how you end and start paragraphs.
- Note any special characters used in the document.
- Send a hard copy of the document as it appears on the disk, not a later or earlier version.
Tables
Each table should appear on a separate sheet and should be numbered in Arabic numerals. Only the first word of the title should be capitalized, and similarly only the first word of the table headings should be capitalized. Horizontal rules only are used, see The Forestry Chronicle for examples. Tables will appear as one column (3 3/8?, page width (6 5/8? or for large tables sideways on the page (9 5/8?.
Illustrations
Line illustrations should be in black ink on white paper. Photo-reproductions of line illustrations are acceptable, but photocopies and illustrations reduced on dot-matrix printers are not. When planning illustrations bear in mind that they will be reduced to fit the page or column size. All elements of the illustration should be clearly legible when reduced; lettering should be at least 1.5 mm high when reduced. Non-professional hand or typewritten lettering is not acceptable.
Halftone illustrations (photographs) should be clear black and white prints with good tonal contrast and sharp focus. Previously screened photographs are not acceptable. All illustrations should be labelled with the first author抯 name and figure number. For electronic copies, please see The Forestry Chronicle graphics list for accepted graphic formats. Electronic files can be accepted on 3.5 in disk and CD-ROM.
The Abstract
Abstracts are required for Scientific and Technical papers, and optional for professional papers. However, abstracts are indexed and catalogued by several agencies, and provide greater exposure to the article and authors. Keywords, up to 12 words or phases, are required for all papers, and are instrumental for the on-line search.
The abstract is an abbreviated, accurate representation of the paper, of about 50?00 words, rarely longer. The abstract and key words or phrases should appear on a separate page. The abstract should be informative. An informative abstract contains the most essential information given in the original. Results and conclusions should be given in numerical values where practical. It may indicate date, localities, names of species, new methods, etc. Information given in the title should not be repeated. The abstract should be able to stand by itself. It should not be used for second thoughts. The abstract is the most important part of a paper because it is read by the most people.
For long review or discussions an indicative abstract may be used. It is very short, often only a sentence, which expands or clarifies the title.
Abstracts should be submitted in English and in French where possible.
Spelling and Abbreviations
The Forestry Chronicle uses the Gage Canadian Dictionary as its source for the correct spelling of words. Words such as 揻ertilizer?should be spelled with a 搝,?not an 搒.?o:p>
Miscellaneous
Use Trees in Canada by J.L. Farrar for common and scientific names or Checklist of United States Trees by E.L. Little, Jr., Agriculture Handbook No. 541 for a broader list of scientific names. For technical articles, the CBE Style Manual (fifth or later edition) provides useful guidelines on form and style.
Colour photographs related to articles are solicited for possible use on the cover of The Forestry Chronicle.
Submissions not complying with these instructions or not including the three copies will be returned or delayed until the required changes have been made.
