Finnish Society of Forest Science

 

     The Finnish Society of Forest Science was founded in 1909 to promote
research in forest and wood science in Finland. The Society is a network of
researchers and it strives to enhance the links between researchers and
practical foresters and promote public interest in forest research. 

 

     Finnish Society of Forest Science started science publishing in 1913 by
establishing the journal Acta Forestalia Fennica. Its first issue contained
two monograph-style research reports written in German. During the early
years, the publications of the Society were commonly edited in Finnish or
German but some papers appeared in English or French. Silva Fennica was
established in 1926 for publishing "short" research reports, i.e. articles
written in the concise style of today's research articles. The Finnish
Society of Forest Science started publishing cooperation with the Finnish
Forest Research Institute in 1994 and English became the only publishing
language of Silva Fennica. The same year, online publication of the
abstracts began. Open access publication of whole text articles in the
Internet began in 1998. Thus, Silva Fennica was among the first
international scientific journals to go online. In 2000, Acta Forestalia
Fennica merged with Silva Fennica because submission of monographs almost
ceased.

Silva Fennica has established reputation as one of leading forest science
journals of the world. The 100th year of forest science publishing by the
Finnish Society of Forest Science, 2013, brings another important change for
Silva Fennica because it goes online only. Open access publishing will
continue.   <http://www.metsatieteellinenseura.fi/english>
