FORMEC 2025: Leveraging Technology for More Sustainable Wood and Biomass Supply Chains.
The International Journal of Forest Engineering (IJFE) is assembling an article collection featuring papers presented during the 2025 FORMEC Annual Meeting in Joensuu, Finland. The conference theme, “Leveraging Technology for More Sustainable Wood and Biomass Supply Chains,” highlights the growing role of AI, automation, and digitalization in transforming forestry operations for a more efficient and sustainable future.
We are welcoming content from the key areas below:
- AI Applications in Wood Supply Chains
- Digitalization, Big Data, and Precision Technologies in Forestry Logistics
- Robotics and Automation for Wood and Biomass Supply Chains
- Digital Twins and Smart Forestry Operations
- Intelligent Transportation and Logistics for Wood and Biomass
- Sustainability and Circular Economy in Digital Wood Supply Chains
Submission Instructions
- Articles will be published online immediately after completing the peer-review process and reaching their final form.
- IJFE is a hybrid journal, allowing authors to submit their work free of charge. For this article collection, we are offering six months of free access to the first 10 accepted manuscripts.
- Alternatively, authors can choose full Open Access, with the Article Processing Charge (APC) varying by country. More details can be found here: Open access cost finder - Author Services. IJFE follows a strict openness policy, including research data and computer codes. Authors are required to provide a data availability statement (DAS), detailing where data associated with a paper can be found and how it can be accessed. The DAS should be submitted within the article manuscript, before the ‘References’ section. If data cannot be made open, authors should state why in the data availability statement.
