Notes for Contributors
Submission.Language of the journal is English. Authors are requested to submit the manuscripts to the associate editor. Manuscripts will be reviewed minimally by one reviewer. Authors will usually be notified about the acceptance or rejection of the manuscripts within three months. Manuscripts should be LQ quality in font Times New Roman. Paper should be written in a-concise, logical way.
Manuscripts. Four categories of scientific papers are distinguished: (1) Original papers up to 15 manuscript pages (30 lines). (2) Short notes up to 6 pages. (3) Review papers. (4) Announcements of Conferences and Meetings up to 2 pages and Reviews up to 2 pages. Manuscripts must be sent in Microsoft Word and PDF to e-mail: woodresearch.sdvu@vupc.sk
Title. The title should be brief, typed on separate sheet along with the autor(s) full name and address. In case of co-authors, the respective addresses should be given clearly. Correspondence and proofs will be send to the first author unless otherwise requested. Telephone and E-mail connections should be given on letterhead or separate paper.
Standard papers. A maximum of six Key words should be given at the bottom of the Abstract. Latin names of the species covered be the paper are obligatory. Abstract must be included. It must be typed on a separate sheet and should not exceed 150 words. It should be informative (summarizing) and not indicative (not of the conclusions alone). The Introduction states the reasons for doing the work, the underlying hypotheses and essential background. Material and Methods outline enough detail to enable the work to be repeated by someone else. Results draw attention to important features of tables and figures. Discussion points out the significance of the results and places the results in the context of other works. The Conclusions briefly summarize the results. The Acknowledgment should be simply phrased. References to research project and funds should be included here. Special information, e.g. technical details, computing procedures may be presented in appendices, which should be numbered and placed after the references.
In the text, references should be cited using the following format: For two authors, both names should be given throughout. Use the first author and et al. for three or more authors. References in list of references must be in alphabetical order. Use the following formats:
Journals:
Stringer, J.W., Olson, J.R., 1987: Radial and vertical variation in stem properties of juvenile Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) , Wood and Fibre Science 19(1): 59-67.
Chapters in a publication:

Standards:
EN 15886, 2010: Conservation of cultural property. Test methods. Color measurement of surfaces.
If articles are printed in non-Latin letters use the translated title in rectangular brackets. A paper may be cited in press only if it has been accepted by a journal, and then the journal must be given in the references. Papers not yet accepted should be cited in the text as „unpublished“ and omitted from the references.
Nomenclature. Binomial Latin names should be used in accordance with International Rules of Nomenclature. The first time the binomen is used in the text the name of its author should be included. If species names are used repeatedly in the text, the genus name may be abbreviated. Latin names must be underlined in the manuscript or typed in italics.
Tables should be as comprehensive as possible without reference to the next. Plan your tables for column or page width, 40 or 80 letter spaces, respectively. Titles of columns should be short or numbered and explained in the text to the table. Indicate the position of each table or figure in the margin of the text. Each table must be typed on a separate sheet.
Figures must be on separate sheet, high quality printed. Specify texts for individual figures on a separate sheet. Letters and numbers should be readable well.
Formulae should be presented in the text. Complicated formulae should be presented on separate sheet also. Format of equations must be chosen to allow an additional correction. Make sure there is no confusion between similarly looking characters.
Units of measurements and abbreviations should follow the International System of Units (SI).
Proofs will be sent to the author together with the manuscript. Proofs should be returned together with manuscript to the Editor without delay.
