Dear colleagues,
As a young and strongly emerging research journal Forest and Society<http://journal.unhas.ac.id/index.php/fs> (F&S) is openly welcoming submissions with a main geographical focus on Southeast Asia.
We are also inviting proposals for themed special sections, currently compiling one on agrarian transformations in Thailand and forest politics in Indonesia.
Our F&S journal is:
* University-driven (UNHAS Indonesia)
* interdisciplinary
* peer-reviewed
* open-access (non-predatory)
* free of charge
We lately completed Volume 1, which includes 2 issues, consisting of 13 articles that cover various topics and research approaches, at different scales. All articles are open access and can be downloaded here<http://journal.unhas.ac.id/index.php/fs/issue/archive>. We are eager to expand our network and are open to new initiatives and collaborations that increase accessibility and exposure on land, forest, politics-policy, and society issues across Southeast Asia.
All papers are overseen by our diverse editorial team<http://journal.unhas.ac.id/index.php/fs/about/editorialTeam> and we hand submissions for blind review among subject and country-specific experts for a quick and timely review process..
Please help us spread the word and do not hesitate to contact us, and check us out on facebook<https://www.facebook.com/forestandsociety/> and twitter<https://twitter.com/forstsociety>.
