[x] shorten to 3-4k words (down to ~3.9k, but this does not include figure captions)
[x] make this more generally applicable by shifting the focus to ground-based forest C data in general (with ForC presented as an invaluable tool), as opposed to ForC specifically. This will take only a pretty minor shift in wording in some places, but could make this more interesting to a lot of people.
[x] format Table S3 for .pdf (to get rid of flextable error message)
[x] societal impact statement
[x] remove/correct references to section numbers
[x] list SI materials
[x] incorporate Susan's comments
[x] "If you wanted to add something, I would be tempted to add more emphasis about how different rules from the EFDB lead to exclusions of relevant data (e.g., how much data is actually from a figure, how much data comes as parsed pools rather than the whole pool)."
[x] copy SI material to template
[x] shorten abstract to 250 words
[x] final check
editorial guidance
The guest editors have considered your abstract and would be delighted to consider your submission for the Special Collection. Please note, although the guest editors appreciated the importance of the study, they would encourage you to consider how the work could be given more of an anthromes framing to fit more closely to the scope of the Special Collection. If you could please consider this point when preparing the work for submission, that would be appreciated. We provide some general submission guidance below and look forward to receiving your submission.
from their website:
Methods and Techniques provide a forum for novel inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches for researchers, practitioners and educators at the interface between plants and society. Methods and Techniques can report new or improved experimental or computational methods, tools, protocols or analytical approaches, that have been rigorously tested and can be readily adopted by others. We also welcome articles that discuss the methodological challenges or opportunities associated with inter- and trans-disciplinary work. The inclusion of material to aid the accessibility and use of Methods and Techniques by others is essential, and this material should either be provided with the article, or uploaded to a public data repository with appropriate links and identifiers included in the article. For example, please see a protocol included in Spanish as Supporting Information. Methods and Techniques are usually in the region of 3000–4000 words, with up to 6 display items.
pub fee: $2,750USD
(As of Jan 2024, manuscript meets guidelines for display items but is somewhat too long 4.6k words)
