J-FOR-Journal of Science & Technology for Forest Products and Processes

The Journal of Science and Technology for Forest Products and Processes. J-FOR will publish peer-reviewed articles of the highest quality, dealing with the science and technology of traditional and emerging areas that are pertinent to the forest industry. Building on the strong reputation that the Journal of Pulp and Paper Science has acquired over the years, J-FOR will succeed JPPS as PAPTAC’s preeminent and flagship publication, and will incorporate a broader scope of target areas and bring together a wider range of scientific, technological and technical papers. With a strong team of expert reviewers and associate editors, led by Dr. Honghi Tran, Frank Dottori Professor of Pulp & Paper Engineering, University of Toronto as Editor-in-Chief, and Dr. Paul Stuart, Chairholder of the NSERC Design Engineering Chair at École Polytechnique de Montréal as Deputy Editor, J-FOR will cover the following areas: Traditional Areas: (covering all pulping processes, both wood and non-wood) Pulping, bleaching and papermaking fundamentals, processes and technologies Energy and chemical recovery fundamentals, processes and technologies Recycled fibre and recycling technology Development of sensors, analytical methods and process control logics Mill water and energy usages and optimization Environmental concerns and their mitigation Emerging Forestry Areas: Emerging forest-based products and their chains of added value Fundamentals of converting forest-based biomass into biofuels and other bioproducts Nanotechnology and other high added-value processes Development of chemical, biochemical and thermochemical processes for the forestry industry Integrating emerging and sustainable processes into the pulp and paper industry Harvesting and procurement of forest and other biomass feedstocks
