- About Journal of the Korean Wood Science and Technology
- The Journal of the Korean Wood Science and Technology (JKWST), launched in 1973 as the official publication of the Korean Society of Wood Science and Technology, has been serving as a core source of knowledge covering basic and applied research in all areas of wood science and technology. The scope of the journal includes wood anatomy, wood deterioration and preservation, wood physics and engineering, wood chemistry and chemical processing, microbiology, wood processing and composites, furniture and construction, wood industry and business, and wood culture and education (see more specific topics below). Research on non-wood forest products (e.g., mushrooms, bark, fruits, seeds, leaves, roots, and medicinal plants) and non-woody plants (e.g., palm, bamboo, and industrial crops) as a source of fiber, chemicals, and products that can substitute for wood-based materials are also welcome. The journal is published bimonthly, with six issues per year. Supplemental or special issues are published occasionally
