Aims & Scope

The Canadian Institute of Forestry/Institut forestier du Canada (CIF-IFC) has published The Forestry Chronicle, a professional and scientific forestry journal since 1925. In 2017, the Chronicle switched from print issues to open access publishing, allowing the journal to be made available to any reader without any financial or technical barriers. It is an online-only distribution, that is not available in print, which increases opportunities for authors, including all-colour pages, links to biographies, other work, videos, or GIFS. E-first finalized manuscripts were initiated in mid-2020, allowing papers to be published immediately upon final acceptance on the journal website without the delay of waiting for an entire issue to be published. Authors retain copyright to their work, and all articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0). The Forestry Chronicle is published to provide information to forest practitioners about professional and scientific management of forests and their resources. The Forestry Chronicle provides forest practitioners in Canada and around the world with a means to communicate with their peers in the professional community.
