About the journal :

Purpose: To promote scientific discourse and foster scientific developments related to sustainable manufacture involving lignocellulosic or woody biomass resources, including crop residues.

Focus: Advances in the science and technology of utilization of biomass obtained from wood, crop residues and other materials containing cellulose, lignin, and related biomaterials. Emphasis is placed on bioproducts, bioenergy, papermaking technology, new manufacturing materials, composite structures, and chemicals derived from lignocellulosic biomass.

Format: An open-access, web-based journal, with abstracts appearing in hypertext meta-language (HTML), and full articles downloadable for free as Adobe portable document format (PDF) files. Authors use a template to prepare article in final format.

Peer-Review Policy: All research articles and scholarly review articles subject to a peer review process managed by the co-editors, with oversight by the Editorial Board. BioResources employs an automated system for web-based submission of articles.

Co-Editors: Dr. Lucian A. Lucia and Dr. Martin A. Hubbe, Department of Wood and Paper Science, College of Natural Resources, North Carolina State University, Box 8005, Raleigh, NC 27695-8005. USA.
