The aim of Bartin Orman
Fakultesi Dergisi (BAROFD) is to provide a balance between forestry, and forest biomaterial science aspects, basic and applied
research, and development. The Journal also aims to provide a forum for the
prompt publication of original research on all areas of Forestry, and
forest biomaterials, with emphasis being placed on evaluation and modelling of
engineering details and concepts. Basic research papers are welcomed as well as
proposals for review articles.
Types of paper
Original research papers and brief research paper; letters
commenting on recently published papers, on matters of general interest to
readers, or on matters concerned with editorial policy.
Invited review papers related with current
topics, or matters of general interest to readers.
Submission checklist
You can use this list
to carry out a final check of your submission before you send it to the journal
for review. Please check the relevant section in this Guide for Authors for
more details. Ensure that the
following items are present:
One author has been
designated as the corresponding author with contact details:
• E-mail address
• Full postal address
All necessary files
have been uploaded:
Manuscript:
• Include keywords
• All figures (include relevant captions)
• All tables (including titles, description, footnotes)
• Ensure all figure and table citations in the text match the files
provided
Further considerations
• Manuscript has been 'spell checked' and 'grammar checked'
• All references mentioned in the Reference List are cited in the text,
and vice versa
• Permission has been obtained for use of copyrighted
material from other sources (including the Internet)
• A competing interests statement is provided, even if
the authors have no competing interests to declare
Article structure
Manuscripts should be
written clearly and concisely. Authors should be able to present their material
within a single, well-structured concise manuscript. Follow this order when
typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main
text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Figure Captions and then Tables.
• Research papers should
be no more than 15 single line spaced manuscript pages, including references, figures,
tables.
• Brief research papers
should be no more than 5 single line spaced manuscript pages, including references,
figures, tables.
• Invited review papers
should be no more than 25 single line spaced manuscript pages, including references,
figures, tables.
Text layout
Use double spacing and
wide (2.5 cm) margins. (Avoid full justification, i.e., do not use a constant
right-hand margin.) Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated.
Present tables and figure legends in main text. If possible, consult a recent
issue of the journal to become familiar with layout and conventions. Number all
pages consecutively, use 10 pt font size, single line space and standard fonts.
Subdivision - numbered sections
Divide your article
into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should not be numbered.
Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
Introduction
State the objectives of
the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature
survey or a summary of the results.
Material and methods
Provide sufficient
details to allow the work to be reproduced by an independent researcher.
Methods that are already published should be summarized, and indicated by a
reference. If quoting directly from a previously published method, use
quotation marks and also cite the source. Any modifications to existing methods
should also be described.
Theory/calculation
A Theory section should
extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the
Introduction and lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a
Calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical
basis.
Results
Results should be clear
and concise.
Discussion
This should explore the
significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results
and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and
discussion of published literature.
Conclusions
The main conclusions of
the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand
alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.
Appendices
If there is more than
one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc.
Title, Abstract and Author information
•
Title: Concise and
informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid
abbreviations and formulae where possible.
•
Abstract: A concise and
factual abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of
the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often
presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For
this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the
author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be
avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the
abstract itself. The abstract must be approximately 150 words, outlined in a
single paragraph. Authors should add a maximum of five keywords in the
manuscript.
• Author names and
affiliations. Please clearly indicate the given name(s) and family name(s) of
each author and check that all names are accurately spelled. You can add your
name between parentheses in your own script behind the English transliteration.
Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done)
below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter
immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address.
Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name
and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
•
Corresponding author:
Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and
publication, also post-publication. Ensure that the e-mail address is given and
that contact details are kept up to date by the corresponding author. The
address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main,
affiliation address.
Abbreviations
Define abbreviations
that are not standard in this field in a footnote to be placed on the first
page of the article. Such abbreviations that are unavoidable in the abstract
must be defined at their first mention there, as well as in the footnote.
Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article.
Acknowledgements
Collate
acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the
references. List here those individuals who provided help during the research
(e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the
article, etc.). Funding sources in this standard way to facilitate compliance
to funder's requirements should be written below:
This work was supported
by the TUBITAK [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy] and Bartin University BAP [grant
number zzzz].
It is not necessary to
include detailed descriptions on the program or type of grants and awards. When
funding is from a block grant or other resources available to a university,
college, or other research institution, submit the name of the institute or
organization that provided the funding.
If no funding has been
provided for the research, please include the following sentence:
This research did not
receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or
not-for-profit sectors.
Units
All measurements and
data should be given in SI units, or if SI units do not exist, in an
internationally accepted unit. If you use any symbol or unit that may not be
generally recognized, please include an explanatory footnote the first time it
is used, to help the referees, editors and readers.
Math formulae
Detailed mathematical
discussion should be placed in an appendix. Equations and formulae should be
typewritten wherever possible. Equations should be numbered consecutively with
Arabic numerals in parentheses on the right hand side of the page. Type or mark
mathematical equations exactly as they should appear in print.
Figure and Table captions
Ensure that each Figure
and Table have a caption. A caption should comprise a brief title for both figures
and tables and a description of the illustration. Provide english/turkish title
for each figure and table in the text.
