Holzforschung/Wood Research and Technology: Instructions for Authors (last update: May 10, 2021)

I.  Scope and editorial policy

Holzforschung is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes cutting-edge research on the biology, chemistry, physics and technology of wood and wood components as well as high quality papers on biotechnology and tree genetics. The journal publishes Original articles, Reviews, Short notes. Manuscripts are independently reviewed by peers selected by the responsible Editor. Holzforschung aspires to notify authors within 3-4 weeks from the submission date. Accepted papers are promptly published online ahead-of-print as soon as they have been finally processed.

Reviewers: The authors should provide the names and e-mail addresses of 3 potential reviewers from at least 2 different countries. Authors may also indicate names of reviewers whom they wish to be excluded from reviewing their manuscripts.

Unpublished material: Submission of a manuscript to Holzforschung implies that the work described is not copyrighted, published or submitted elsewhere, except in abstract form. The corresponding author should ensure that all authors approve the manuscript before its submission to Holzforschung.

Anti-plagiarism policy: Holzforschung strongly discourages plagiarism and related issues. Each manuscript submitted to the journal undergoes an anti-plagiarism check that determines the degree of similarity with contents already published under any form. The Editors reserve the right to reject without reviewing manuscripts with high plagiarism content, or manuscripts that clearly appear to belong to a sequence of very similar works that add no or little scientific value. See also the Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement on the journal's website.

Copyright: Manuscripts are accepted on condition of transfer of copyright (for U.S. government employees: to the extent transferable) to Holzforschung. Once the manuscript is accepted, it may not be published elsewhere without the consent of the copyright holders.

II. Submission of manuscripts

Manuscripts should be submitted online at: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/holz

III. Preparation of manuscripts

Cover letter

Each manuscript should be accompanied by a cover letter containing a brief statement by the authors as to the novelty/originality of their article.

Language

Manuscripts should be written in clear and concise English. Non-native speakers are requested to have their text proofread by a native English speaker/professional language service prior to submission. Such a language proof may be requested by the Editors as part of the revision process.

General format and length

Formatting should be kept to a minimum. Do not create headers or footers, page breaks or arrange your text with the space key. Include page numbers. Please avoid footnotes in the text, use parentheses instead.

Original articles: Authors must present an accurate description of the research conducted and an objective discussion. The title should clearly identify the subject of the reported work. Maximum length: 8,000 words (authors need to pls. list the word count on the title page); maximum total of tables/figures/schemes: 15. Additional online only supplementary material is unrestricted but should contribute to the main article in a reasonable way.

Short notes (but no provisional or intermediate reports) are reserved for clear-cut research results. Maximum length: 2,500 words (authors need to pls. list the word count on the title page); maximum total of tables/figures/schemes: 3. Additional online only supplementary material may be added but should be kept to a minimum.

Reviews may be of a theoretical, experimental or practical nature, provided that they transmit essential aspects of the knowledge in the field. There is no length limit provided the topic is handled in an adequate way.

Nomenclature and units

Authors should consult the The ACS Style Guide for nomenclature and format guidelines. Chemical names, abbreviations and acronyms should be given in parentheses at the first appearance in the text. Well-known procedures/reactions should be designated by name, and appropriate literature references should be given. The metric system and SI units must

be used. Refer to the ACS Style Guide.

Manuscript structure

Structure of Original articles: Title page (article title, all author names and affiliations, short title; indicate the corr. author), abstract (max. 200 words), max. 5 keywords in alpabetical order, main text, acknowldegments, research funding information, conflict of interest statement, references list, figure captions. All section headings of the main textbody should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Abbreviations should be explained at first mention in the texbody, thereafter the abbreviations should be used only. A list of non-standard abbreviations should be included if there are more than 10. A nomenclature list at the end of the paper is recommended when many symbols are included in the text. Equations must be numbered sequentially with Arabic numbers enclosed with round parentheses on the right-hand margin.

The Abstract should concisely present the objective of the project, procedure, results and conclusion. The Introduction should define the problem and the frame of existing knowledge in view of the more recent literature. The Materials and methods should be a concise presentation with sufficient details to enable others to repeat your work; provide the name, city and country of suppliers from whom reagents were purchased. The Results and discussion should usually be presented together. In special cases, if the body of data is very large, arrange results and discussion in separate parts. The discussion should interpret the results in view of the problem as outlined in the introduction and place the results within the context of the broad scientific cognition of the discipline. The Conclusions contain the take-home messages of the results’ interpretation. Please do not repeat the content of the Abstract.

Structure of Short notes: As for Original articles, but with a shorter Abstract (max. 100 words).

All revised manuscripts must comprise a point-to-point reply to the reviewers’/editor’s criticisms as well as both a marked up and a clean version of the main textbody.
