Contribute to the Encyclopedia
At its launch in 2008, the initial content for the Encyclopedia of Forest Environmental Threats is drawn from the synthesis and case study papers submitted to the "Advances in Threat Assessment" conference in July 2006. These papers underwent peer review and are then subjected to technical and style editing for web and print.
Once this initial batch of papers is incorporated into the encyclopedia, we will be seeking and accepting additional submissions. The ability to continually expand to accommodate a growing body of knowledge is a major strength of an online encyclopedia such as this one. We encourage you to explore the information being offered on the site and identify gaps in coverage where you might contribute.
Author guidelines specific to papers submitted as part of the 2006 Conference are found at the bottom of this page. Immediately below are more general instructions and references for papers submitted to General Technical Reports, as found at the Southern Research Stations Author and Editor Toolkit. Check there for issues not covered in the above guidelines. The conference-specific instructions at the bottom take precedence over any of the following.
- Guidelines for Citations (100 KB PDF)
- Quick Reference Guide (11 KB PDF) one-page examples of capitalization, number and other styling details
- Custom Dictionary (54 KB PDF) government and scientific spelling conventions
