Aims & Scope
About the Journal Focus and Scope Les/Wood publishes original research articles and review papers that examine the broad field of wood science and technology. Subject areas include the complete forest-wood supply chain from various aspects, including wood as a material, and wood as a part of cultural heritage. Based in Slovenia, Les/Wood clearly combines locally oriented research with the original research results from neighbouring countries and elsewhere in Europe, as well as beyond to broaden this national focus. Les/Wood is a diamond open-access, international peer-reviewed scientific journal published twice a year by the University of Ljubljana Press and issued by the Biotechnical Faculty of the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia .

The journal also publishes editorials and an occasional “News” section for its readership. The journal is governed by an Editorial Team (editor-in-chief, managing editor and technical editor) in cooperation with the International Editorial Board, consistent with the mission of the journal.
