Journal of Forestry Research (JFR) publishes scientific articles related to forestry for a broad range of international scientists, forest managers and practitioners. The scope of the journal covers the following 20 subjects:

Tree genetics and tree breeding
Tree physiology
Silviculture
Forest soil
Forest hydrology
Forest ecology
Forest adaptation to climate change
Restoration ecology
Urban forestry
Forest management
Forest biometrics
Forest RS, GIS, and modeling
Forest health monitoring and assessment
Forest fire
Forest resource conservation
Forest entomology and pathology
Forest biomass, carbon, and bioenergy
Forest engineering
Wood science and biomaterials
Wildlife ecology and management
Although JFR is a comprehensive academic journal covering nearly all subjects of forestry, this journal does not publish papers related to forest economics, medicinal plants, fruit trees, landscape architecture, horticulture, aquatic organisms, technologies for extractions, the composition of wood, wood products technology and pulp processing, and manufacturing methods, as well as other subjects addressed in detail by other journals.

The journal welcomes review articles, original papers, and short communications with high academic quality. The journal seeks manuscripts reporting breakthroughs in knowledge, approaches or techniques, and understanding across a broad spectrum of forests and forestry. All papers are subject to peer review. Submissions are judged on their originality, the importance of their subject matter, and their clarity, accuracy, and quality of scientific writing.
