Notes for authors
The Allgemeine Forst- und Jagdzeitung only publishes first articles, either in German or English. Manuscripts should be sent by e-mail to the AFJZ editorial office (redaktion.afjz@sauerlaender-verlag.com).
An article includes figures, tables and summaries in German, English and French as well as a bibliography. The publisher will take care of the translation of the French summary and the final formatting for publication.
All manuscripts are first “pre-reviewed” by a subject editor and then forwarded to two reviewers. These reviewers examine the anonymized work in terms of content and form in accordance with internationally accepted review procedures.If several authors have contributed to a manuscript, a “co-authorship declaration” is required from all of them.
The publication date of an accepted manuscript cannot be guaranteed; the external review process requires varying amounts of time.
The articles are published open access on the AFJZ website immediately after acceptance by the reviewers and completion of the final and reviewed article in accordance with the “Gold Standard”, i.e. they are freely accessible to all.
The volume numbering is continued and is bound to a calendar (e.g. volume 194/2025), but the articles in a volume will in future be replaced by the DOI as an identification feature instead of page numbering.
The author grants the publisher the right to the work (= article) to digitally reproduce the work in non-physical electronic editions and to store it in databases and data networks and to make it accessible to any number of users in whole or in part in such a way that they can receive the work or parts of the work on individual demand (e.g. download, streaming), regardless of the transmission system (e.g. Internet, mobile phone) and the type of receiving device (e.g. computer, cell phone, e-reader).
After publication, the author will receive a pdf file of the article for his/her own use and the publisher will cover the costs of DOI availability.
The costs for the author amount to € 800 and are to be paid after acceptance of the manuscript for publication.
In order to ensure a uniform appearance, please note the following remarks:
