One dimension of the mission of the International Journal of Forest Engineering is to help link the forest engineering community all over the world. There is a host of research institutions and groups, technology development units and departments spread throughout most forested countries of the world. The Journal would like to publish brief profiles of those research and development groups, institutes and organizations whose activities overlap with the Journal's technical scope (see the "scope" statement at the front of this issue).
In this issue, the Institute for Forest Work Science at Göttingen and the University of New Brunswick's Forest Engineering Program are described (see pages 50 and 57, respectively).
Content
The profiles should describe the technical and geographic scope of the organization, their location, a brief list of some publications and products that might give an idea of the kind of work carried on there, a description of the organization itself (location, number of staff, affiliations with university or government institutions and key personnel). In addition, complete contact information (mailing, phone/fax, electronic mail and Web addresses) should be provided to allow further contact by readers.
Format
Each profile should be no longer than what would comfortably fit on one page in the Journal. This would normally mean using artwork that covers 1/4 of the page area in addition to approximately 300 words of text. Any text artwork, logo or icons to be used in the profile must be provided digitally and in hard copy. Submissions should list a contact person for editorial changes or questions. The deadline date for receipt of profiles for Volume 13(1) is November 1, 2001.
