Journal Title：Small-scale Forestry

Emerging from discussions within IUFRO’s Small-scale Forestry group, Small-scale Forestry was originally published as Small-scale Forest Economics, Management and Policy in 2002, with a view to providing an international forum for publishing high quality, peer-reviewed papers on pure and applied research into small-scale forestry. Although of particular interest to the global research community, the journal is also relevant to both policy makers and forest managers.

The scope of the journal is necessarily quite broad, given the range of issues relevant to small-scale forestry. These include the social, economic and technical dimensions of farm, family, non-industrial, agro- and community forestry. Papers are accepted on the basis that they relate specifically to forestry at this scale, and that they are based on high quality research using accepted quantitative and/or qualitative methodology.

Empirical, theoretical, modeling, and methodological papers are all welcome. The following research areas are particularly relevant to the journal:

-the role of small-scale forestry in rural development-

financial modeling and decision support systems-

enhancing return from non-wood products-

social impacts of small-scale forestry-

marketing, forest co-operatives and growers organizations-

role and effectiveness of government support and subsidies-

innovative research techniques-

education and extension-

certification-

silvicultural, wood harvesting and processing techniques and technologies-

impediments to small-scale forestry development-

monitoring socio-economics-

forest management behaviour and timber supply

《小規(guī)模林業(yè)》誕生于國際林業(yè)研究聯(lián)合會小規(guī)模林業(yè)小組的討論中，最初于 2002 年以《小規(guī)模森林經(jīng)濟、管理和政策》為名出版，旨在為發(fā)表高質(zhì)量、同行評議的小規(guī)模林業(yè)純研究和應(yīng)用研究論文提供一個國際論壇。盡管該期刊特別受到全球研究界的關(guān)注，但它也與政策制定者和森林管理者息息相關(guān)。

鑒于與小規(guī)模林業(yè)相關(guān)的問題范圍，該期刊的范圍必然非常廣泛。這些包括農(nóng)場、家庭、非工業(yè)、農(nóng)業(yè)和社區(qū)林業(yè)的社會、經(jīng)濟和技術(shù)層面。論文被接受的前提是它們與這種規(guī)模的林業(yè)具體相關(guān)，并且它們基于使用公認(rèn)的定量和/或定性方法的高質(zhì)量研究。

歡迎實證、理論、建模和方法論文。以下研究領(lǐng)域與該期刊特別相關(guān)：

-小規(guī)模林業(yè)在農(nóng)村發(fā)展中的作用-

財務(wù)建模和決策支持系統(tǒng)-

提高非木材產(chǎn)品的回報-

小規(guī)模林業(yè)的社會影響-

營銷、森林合作社和種植者組織-

政府支持和補貼的作用和有效性-

創(chuàng)新研究技術(shù)-

教育和推廣-

認(rèn)證-

造林、木材采伐和加工技術(shù)-

小規(guī)模林業(yè)發(fā)展的障礙-

監(jiān)測社會經(jīng)濟-

森林管理行為和木材供應(yīng)

Small-scale Forestry創(chuàng)刊于2002年，由Springer Netherlands出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋FORESTRY全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數(shù)1.4，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
