The International Wood Products Journal is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of wood science, engineering, and technology. It is currently published by Sage Journals on behalf of the Wood Technology Society (Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining) and the editor-in-chief is Gervais Sawyer and the associate editor is Carmen-Mihaela Popescu.

History

[edit]

The journal was established in 1958 as the Journal of the Institute of Wood Science,[1][2] and was published in London by the Institute of Wood Science, the predecessor of the Wood Technology Society.[3]

The first editor of the journal was Bernard Alwyn Jay, Deputy Director of the Timber Development Association (with later became TRADA[4]), until he died in 1961.[5] By then the journal was considered to be one of the leading publications of its kind, with subscribers in 31 countries including USA, China, India and Russia.[6]

The Institute of Wood Science merged into the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining in 2009, and as a consequence the journal was renamed, obtaining its current name in 2010. At the same time it came to be published by Maney Publishing.[7] Maney was acquired by Taylor & Francis in 2015.[8] From 2024 the publisher is Sage, following a 2023 agreement with the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining for Sage to take over publication of the journals of the institute.[9]
