The International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Forestry Natural-Resource Sciences publishes biannual quantitative and analytical works in mathematical and computational forestry and natural resource sciences. The two areas of this scope cover the extreme ends of the currently (several decades old) predominant model of forestry and natural resource research. The center of this model consists of empirical data collection and associated statistical analysis. On one extreme of this model lies analytical derivation, such as equation derivation, mathematical proofs, and hypothetical theories. On the other extreme of the spectrum lie the modern computational sciences based on massive amounts of computations allowing solutions to formerly inconceivable problems. The journal also covers other works geared towards implementation of new computer related technologies or computational solutions.This journal applies a 3-stage peer review process that includes the traditional editorial consideration and double blind peer review by appointed referees, as well as a modern concept of Open Public Peer-Review system posting journal preprints online for worldwide scrutiny prior to their final publication. This journal promotes the modern features of e-publishing including but not limited to: Open Access, LaTeX support, advanced color graphs and animation publishing, e-attachments, active hyperlinks, custom intercept-links (URLs), flexibility in citation style, accompanying publication of original source manuscripts, manuscript public comments and discussion, and publication of outstanding Reviews as well as dispute and error corrections.

Evaluating traditional peer-review processes and their alternatives: An opinionated discussion

The advancement of science requires the timely and effective communication of important findings, which often takes the form of peer-reviewed journal articles. In the past decade, there has been significant changes in the world of scientific publishing with the rise of e-journals, open-access articles, and a greater volume of manuscript submissions. However, the overwhelming majority of journals rely on a traditional peer-review model, which is often inefficient and ineffective. In this discussion, I evaluate the core assumptions of traditional peer-review processes, assess current alternatives to traditional peer-review, and provide recommendations for authors, reviewers, Associate Editors, and Editors. Overall, the intent of the discussion is to raise the importance of this issue and provide some suggestions for change.
