Benefits of Sponsoring Special Sections or Special Issues of SAF’s Journals

Special issues or special sections in the SAF journals are published when the collection of articles on a particular theme make a very substantial contribution to the publications’ missions of advancing the profession of forestry. This goal is met by keeping forest management professionals informed about significant developments and ideas in the many facets of forestry and of publishing the best peer-reviewed research into forest-related economic, social, and ecological issues that define or advance the frontiers of science and help inform ongoing policy deliberations.

Typical benefits of publishing a special issue or section may include:

• Influence discussion within the forestry community
• Reduced-price or free advertising space
• Complimentary or discounted print copies or ePrint copies
• Special call outs in SAF promotional materials
