International Wood Products Journal (IWPJ)
Journal Descriptions
International Wood Products Journal is a long‑standing, quarterly peer‑reviewed scientific journal that publishes high‑quality research on wood science, wood engineering, and related technological developments. First established in 1958 as the Journal of the Institute of Wood Science, it adopted its current name in 2010, reflecting a broader international focus and the integration of wood science disciplines. The journal’s scope encompasses a wide range of topics critical to understanding and advancing timber and wood‑based materials, including the physical, mechanical, chemical, and biological properties of wood; processing and manufacturing technologies; degradation and protection of wood products; structural applications and design; composites and engineered wood products; and sustainability issues such as recycling and life‑cycle assessment. Articles typically include original research papers, comprehensive reviews, and case studies that address both fundamental scientific questions and practical challenges in material performance, processing, and environmental impact. By bridging foundational science with engineering and application‑oriented research, the journal serves academics, engineers, material scientists, and industry professionals interested in timber technology, sustainable resource utilization, and innovation in forestry products. As a publication associated with the Wood Technology Society of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining and published by SAGE Publications, it maintains rigorous peer review to ensure relevance and scientific quality.
