Šumarski list (Forestry Journal) publishes scientific and expert articles in the field of forestry, i.e. all scientific branches belonging to forestry, as well as nature protection and hunting. The non-scientific part of the journal includes articles on nature protection related to forests, anniversaries, scientific and professional gatherings, books, magazines, and events in the Croatian Forestry Society.

All papers must be written in Croatian, and scientific and professional papers can be written in Croatian or English, with key elements - abstracts, keywords, titles and subtitles, captions of tables and figures, textual elements of tables, textual parts of graphs, figures, maps – translated into another language. Elements in another language should be in italics.

The document should be prepared in DOCX format with single spacing and font size 12 (additional text with font size 10). The content must be in the Normal style with a spelling check in the language in which it is written (Croatian or English (UK)).

The volume of articles can be up to 15 pages (finally formatted article). Larger papers may be accepted with the approval of the editor and reviewers. Tables, drawings, photos and maps should be inserted into the text in the places where they belong, making sure that the graphics are of sufficient resolution for printing (min. 200 dpi in the future printed format). We ask the authors not to insert graphs as Excel embeddings, but strictly in graphic file format (jpg, gif, tif). If they are unable to do so, attachments of sufficient resolution should be attached as additional documents to the text, also in graphic file format.

For the purpose of publication of scientific papers in XML format in, the headings of the first level (Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, References) should be marked with the Heading1 style, and the headings of the second level with the Heading2 style. If the authors link the references in the text – in the appropriate form (Author, YEAR) - with the list of references, we will provide and publish active links within the list of references in XML.

The scientific paper must contain a title in two languages (not in capital letters!), a list of authors with titles and email addresses, as well as their affiliation and designation of the corresponding author. It must also contain a summary from which the work can be well indexed and abstracted. This summary must contain everything important for the article: part of the introduction, description of the object of research, methods of work, research results, important points from the discussion and conclusions. The summary must be in Croatian and English. At the end of the summary, key words in both languages should be listed.
