Editorial Structure
Acceptance of papers for International Journal of Wildland Fire is controlled by the Editors-in-Chief working with the Editorial Advisory Committee and with an international panel of Associate Editors.
Our journal editors are expected to work within the framework of the Core Practices, and according to the CSIRO Publishing Editorial Board Conduct Policy.
Editors-in-Chief
- Stefan Doerr
Professor and Director of Centre for Wildfire Research, Swansea University, UK
Keywords: fire impacts, global fire trends, fire impact mitigation, fire behaviour, perceptions of fire - Martin P. Girardin
Research Scientist, Canadian Forest Service, Natural Resources Canada
Keywords: forest ecology, fire history, forest productivity, ecosystem modelling, dendrochronology
Book Review Editor
- Cristina Santín

Associate Editors
The panel of Associate Editors is international in scope and will be strengthened by addition of new members from time to time. The panel is responsible for oversight of manuscripts in specific subject areas within the broad fields related to wildland fire. Members of the Editorial Advisory Committee also handle peer-review of papers in their fields of interest.
