Wood and Fiber Science - Bob Youngs Bob introduced Carol Ovens, our Editorial Assistant, and Earl Kline, our Assistant Editor. The last four issues of Wood and Fiber Science have had approximately 100 pages each. Four book reviews have been printed. 53 papers have been received in the past year. Most are well written and organized.
Some problems exist, however.
Authors need to read the information on the inside of the back cover of the journal to avoid unnecessary work and delay. In some cases, it appeared to Bob that the professor had never read the student's paper and needed to preview it much better. The other problem arose in using incorrect technical English. Bob indicated to the members that we are currently investigating our journal publishing practice and procedure and would be accepting proposals from CABI and Allen Press at this time. The committee will be working on a 1-page summary brochure of the Environmental paper.
