Tree-Ring Research

Aims & Scope

Tree-Ring Research (TRR) is devoted to papers dealing with the growth rings of trees and the applications of tree-ring research in a wide variety of fields, including but not limited to archaeology, geology, ecology, hydrology, climatology, forestry, and botany.

Papers involving research results, new techniques of data acquisition or analysis, and regional or subject-oriented reviews or syntheses are considered for publication.

Scientific papers usually fall into two main categories.

Articles should not exceed 5000 words, or approximately 20 double-spaced typewritten pages, including tables, references, and an abstract of 200 words or fewer.

All manuscripts submitted as Articles are reviewed by at least two referees.

Research Reports, which are usually reviewed by at least one outside referee, should not exceed 1500 words or include more than two figures.

Research Reports address technical developments, describe well-documented but preliminary research results, or present findings for which the Article format is not appropriate.

Book or monograph Reviews of 500 words or less are also considered.

Other categories of papers are occasionally published.

All papers are published only in English.

Abstracts of the Articles or Reports may be printed in other languages if supplied by the author(s) with English translations.
