Author Guidelines

Forestry Journal publishes scientific and specialist articles from the fields of forestry, forestry-related scientific branches, nature protection and wildlife management. Every scientific and specialist
article should strive to convert the author’s ideas into forestry practice. Different sections of the journal publish articles dealing with a broad scope of topics, such as forest nature protection, anniversaries, scientific and professional gatherings, books and magazines, activities of the Croatian Forestry  Association, meetings and conclusions of the Managing Board, annual and extraordinary meetings, announcements on the branches of the Association, etc.
All articles submitted to the Editorial Board for publication must be written in Croatian, and scientific and specialist articles must be written in Croatian and English. Titles and subheadings must be translated into English or Croatian.
Documents must be prepared in standard A4 format, all margins should be 2.5 cm, and spacing should be 1,5. The font should be 12-point Times New Roman (notes – footnotes 10). The text itself should be in normal type, the titles in bold and small letters, the subheadings in bold and small letters, and the authors in bold and small letters without titles. Footnotes should contain the name of the author together with titles, address (affiliation) and electronic address (e-mail). The pages must be numbered.
A manuscript with all its components, including tables, graphs, figures (drawings and photographs) and maps, should not exceed 15 pages. Manuscripts exceeding 15 pages must be approved for publication by editors and reviewers. The attached drawings, photographs and maps should be in high resolution.
All paper components should be in two languages (titles of components, table headings, units of measure, graph axes, figures, maps, photographs, legends and others) and the font should be 10-point Times New Roman (8-point size if neces sary). The second language must be in italics. Places in the text where the components should be entered must be marked.
Manuscripts of scientific and specialist papers, written according to the above instructions and submitted to the Editorial Board of Forestry Journal, must contain an abstract in English (or in Croatian if the article is written in English). The abstract should allow easy indexation and abstraction and must contain all the key parts of the article: a part of the introduction, description of research topic, method of work, research results, and the essentials from the discussion and conclusions.
