CERNE

Aims and scope

CERNE is a Brazilian journal that publishes forest science articles. It is affiliated with the Federal University of Lavras/Brazil, which has been our publisher since 1992. Our goal is to disseminate the latest research findings to anyone interested in plantations or natural forests. Our articles cover topics such as silviculture, forest management, forest ecology, and wood science and technology. We invite authors to challenge themselves and present new technologies and innovative ideas. We value clear hypotheses, methods, and social benefits of forest uses. Our documents (manuscripts, reviews, published articles) are securely stored in our institutional database (Repository policy). We are an international journal that accepts only English manuscripts.

Peer-review

Our peer-review process is double-blind and guarantees high-quality standards before acceptance. Our editors are experienced and helpful in enhancing the authors’ work.

Open access

We offer open access to all our articles, meaning that anyone can read and download them for free. We do not charge any fees or article processing charges (APC) to our authors or readers. We also encourage the use of social media to share and promote our publications.

Licensing and Copyright

The published articles are freely distributed among researchers and social media, and all Authors transfer the copyright to Cerne. The research findings can also be used in classroom teaching, conferences, dissertations/theses, and other applications without any restriction. We strongly recommend citing the article to reach a wider audience. The Author also declares that the work is original and free of plagiarism. The authors agree with the publication and are responsible for the accuracy of the information.

DOI

We have used a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) service. The DOI system provides a technical and social infrastructure for the registration and use of persistent interoperable identifiers. This id number tracks the metadata of an article for wide share on digital networks. 

ORCID

We encourage all authors to visit the website of Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) project, which is a global and not-for-profit organization. The ORCID number is a unique, persistent identifier for individuals to use that connects research with their contributions across disciplines, borders, and articles.
