Insights in Forest Science also recognizes the importance of communicating research findings to a broader audience beyond the scientific community. The journal encourages authors to provide clear and concise summaries of their research findings in plain language, and to engage with the public and policymakers to promote the translation of research into policy and practice.

The journal welcomes submissions in various formats, including original research articles, reviews, perspectives, commentaries, and letters to the editor. Insights in Forest Science follows a double-blind peer-review process, where the identity of the authors and reviewers are kept confidential. The review process ensures the quality of publications and provides authors with constructive feedback to improve the quality of their research.

Insights in Forest Science also recognizes the importance of timely dissemination of research findings. The journal aims to provide authors with a rapid and efficient publication process, while maintaining the highest standards of quality and integrity. The journal publishes articles online as soon as they are ready, ensuring that research findings are available to the scientific community as soon as possible.

In summary, Insights in Forest Science is an open-access journal dedicated to promoting the conservation and sustainable use of forest resources. The journal's mission is to promote the dissemination of scientific knowledge and the use of scientific principles to inform policies and actions that support sustainable forest management practices. The journal's vision is to ensure that scientific knowledge is freely accessible and relevant to a wider audience, and that the dissemination of scientific information is not limited by geographical or financial barriers. The journal welcomes submissions in all areas related to forest science, and is committed to promoting ethical practices, diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of its operations.
