Silva Fennica is published in English and is open to all authors.
The journal is published by the Finnish Society of Forest Science and the Finnish Forest Research Institute.
Instructions to Authors
1 General
Silva Fennica publishes research articles, review articles, research notes, discussion papers and book reviews in quarterly issues. More extensive research articles and comprehensive review articles are published intermittently in Silva Fennica Monographs. The journal covers all aspects of forest research, both basic and applied subjects.
Research articles, review articles and research notes are subject to peer review. Authors are anonymous to reviewers of manuscripts.
Silva Fennica is published in English. The length of the papers should not exceed 16 printed pages. There is no page charge for the quarterly issues. Papers published in Monographs should be at least 32 printed pages. Monographs carry a page charge of 17 EUR after the first 32 pages. Contents
2 Categories of Papers
Research articles report findings of original research. They should have the structure Introduction ?Material and Methods ?Results ?Discussion ?References.
Review articles are literature-based critical surveys summarizing and analysing particular fields or topics in forest science.
Research notes report preliminary or tentative results of projects underway.
Discussion papers put forward fresh ideas or new views about the theory and practice of science, point out problems needing the attention of researchers, comment on topical issues. Contents
3 Submission of Manuscripts
Submission of a manuscript to Silva Fennica is taken to imply that the manuscript has not been published nor is being considered for publication elsewhere.
3.1 Research Articles, Review Articles and Research Notes
Please submit the manuscript to the editorial office in three copies complete with text, tables, figures and figure captions. Provide good quality prints of such photographs that need to be critically examined during the review process. In the cover letter, give full name(s) of the author(s), title of the manuscript, postal address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address of the corresponding author, and state the intended category of your manuscript. Do not identify the author(s) in the manuscript itself nor on the figures. You may suggest reviewers.
You may also submit the manuscript in PDF format via e-mail to silva.fennica@metla.fi.
A message acknowledging receipt will be sent to the corresponding author.
Manuscripts are usually sent to two or three reviewers. Once you have received the reviewers' comments, you should send the revised manuscript to the editor in two months. The editor-in-chief will inform you about his/her decision. Following acceptance, no major changes may be made to the manuscript without the permission of the editor. Contents
3.2 Discussion Papers
Decision on discussion papers is made by the editor. Submit the text on a 3.5" PC or Mac diskette or a zip disk together with a printout, accompanied by original figures. In the cover letter, state the intended category of your manuscript. Contents
4 Form of Manuscript
4.1 Lay-out
Print the manuscript on A4-sized paper, leaving enough margin for referee comments. Leave enough space between lines (maximum 40 lines per page). Pages should be numbered consecutively, starting with the title page.
Paragraphs are separated by blank lines. Headings are preceded by two blank lines and followed by one blank line.
Equations are separated from the body text by a blank line.
Information presented in tabular form in the text itself should be of single column width (68 mm on the printed page) and no more than 10 printed lines in height. Anything larger than this should be presented in the form of a table with an appropriate title. Contents
4.2 Headings
Use no more than three levels of headings. Words in the headings should have an initial capital. Headings are numbered as follows: 1, 1.1, 1.1.1 etc. "Acknowledgements" and "References" are not numbered. Contents
4.3 Italics
Use italics for scientific names of species, but not for expressions or abbreviations such as in vitro, a priori, et al., e.g. Contents
4.4 Equations
Equations will be printed over a single column width. Equations are numbered consecutively in parenthesis on the right margin of the page. Symbols used should be explained in the List of Symbols. Preferable software formats are MathType and MsWord's Equation Editor. Contents
4.5 Citing References in the Text
For references in the text, the name-year system is used:
"Allen (1994) has shown..." or "It has been shown (Allen 1994)..."
Allen and Jones (1990)
Allen et al. (1996)
(Allen 1988, Smith 1991, Jones 1994)*
(Handbook of forest... 1991)**
* When reference is made to several publications, arrange them in chronological order.
** Where a publication has no known author or editor, the first 2-3 words of the title are quoted (followed by three dots), together with the year of publication. The term "Anonymous" must not be used. Contents
4.6 Notes
If it is necessary to use notes, endnotes are preferable. Footnotes should be avoided in the body text but can be used in tables. Contents
4.7 Tables
Tables are numbered consecutively through the paper. Vertical dividers are not allowed. When typing tables, use the tabulator key to separate the columns. Never separate columns by multiple spaces. Also, if you prepare tables using a table editor, never enter a paragraph break or a line break within a table cell. Contents
4.8 Figures
Figures are numbered consecutively through the paper. Refer to them in the text as "Fig. 1" etc. Captions to figures are printed on a separate sheet. Captions should be self-explanatory and independent. When preparing figures, bear in mind the effect of reduction on text size and line weight. Characters should have a height of 1.5? mm when printed. Aim at clarity and simplicity, avoid unnecessary effects, like 3-D and shadows. Use solid black or white or coarse line fills for columns. Do not use grey (rasterised) fills. All lines should be in solid black. Do not use line weights below 0.5 point or, where heavy reduction is necessary, below 1.0 point.
Black-and-white photographs should be submitted as prints, colour photographs as slides. The costs of colour figures are normally paid by the author.
If the copyright to a figure is held by someone other than the author, the copyright holder's name should be published with the figure. In matters of copyright, strict adherence to the law must be observed. Contents
4.9 Title and Abstract
A good title is one that is brief and informative. Empty words and constructions like "A study of...", "Observations on..." and the like conveying very little to the reader are not used.
An abstract is a concise, independent r閟um?of the paper. Its purpose is to assist the reader in deciding whether it is worth reading the entire paper, to provide sufficient information for a reader who is not an expert on the topic involved, and to assist the communication of information. Its length should be no more than 250 words in one paragraph. References to literature are not allowed.
The abstract is followed by 3? keywords. Contents
4.10 List of References
Reference should be made only to published, available material. Reference should not be made to second-hand sources. Personal communications are not included in the list of references.
For the order, structure and form of the references, consult the examples below. In addition, note the following:
?When the same author has more than one publication, the author's name is replaced by a dash. Only the first author's name is thus replaced.
?If a publication has no obvious author or editor, the publication is listed in alphabetical order of its own title.
?The standard number, ISBN in books, or STRN in reports, should be given for sources of low circulation at the end of the reference.
?No italics are used in the reference list.
