SUBMISSION

The journal publishes original, previously unpublished (for details see Copyright statement) research reports, reviews and commentaries on various aspects of the boreal environment and its natural resources.

Manuscripts should be prepared as described in the Instructions to Authors and checked thoroughly to make certain that they are complete. Referring to websites should be avoided. If, however, an essential publication is available EXCLUSIVELY on the internet (printed version does not exist) it can be referred to by its URL (Universal Resource Locator) or DOI (Digital Object Identifier) ONLY. Its accessibility in foreseeable future in an unchanged form must be verfified and guaranteed. If web-only publications cannot be found when an article is send to print, the references may be replaced with 'unpublished data' without notice.

Submission Method

Manuscripts (incl. figures) should be sent electronically (by e-mail) as PDF files (printable with all fonts included) along with the completed Submission form directly to the editor (see below) whose area of expertise covers the subject of the paper. Before creating a pdf file from a word processor file, please turn on continuous line numbering. Due to possible font incompatibilities resulting in missing letters or symbols, please do not submit manuscripts as MSWord (or other wordprocessor) .doc or .rtf files. The information normally given in a cover letter can be place in the body of a message. Submission lacking the form may be disregarded.

IMPORTANT: Paper whose total length in print is max. 16 pages will be published free of charge. If an article's lentgh in print exceeds 16 pages, a page charge (to be paid prior to printing) of 30 euros per each page over 16 will apply. To evaluate how many journal pages can result from a manuscript, please first remove the tables and pictures from the file and then perform character count (including spaces) [in MS Word: select 'Word Count' from 'Tools' menu], and divide the obtained number by 4600 (max. number of characters on one printed page of our journal). Some pages should be added to the result depending on how many figures and tables are in the manuscript (usually it is enough to add 0.5 page per each figure or table).

Acknowledgements confirming the receipt of manuscripts are sent exclusively by e-mail.
