International Journal of Social Forestry

For those who would like to submit an article, the author should first check whether his/her article has already adhered to the Author Guidelines. The submitted article should not be previously published, nor being simultaneously considered for publication elsewhere.

IJSF has a S.O.P in publishing articles to ensure their quality. It begins with a pre-reviewing of the submitted article, followed by main reviewing, article revisions by the author based on the review results, re-submission of the revised article, editing, creating page proof, the publication of articles, and the making of reprint/offprint of any articles.

To meet IJSF requirements in publishing its articles and for efficiency reasons in the publication process (reviewing, editing), IJSF has set certain guidelines for authors in its Author Guidelines. These Guidelines consist of scope, length of articles, contents order, headings hierarchy, reference style, etc.

IJSF is an international journal; hence, the members of the Board of Editors come from many countries. At this time, their countries of origins are Indonesia, Canada, Italy, Japan, the Philippines, Pakistan, and Germany.
The main roles of the Board of Editors are to make guidelines or policies for IJSF, to decide which accepted articles to be published in certain editions, and to edit the accepted articles (language, contents, layout).

We proudly announce that, after long preparation, the International Journal of Social Forestry (IJSF) has been established and launched. IJSF is a peer reviewed scientific journal focusing on social aspects of forest management, community-based management of forest-related resources, forest governance and policy. It is published biannually in June and December.
