The topics and themes discussed may include, for example, environmental problems and efforts to solve them, or nonhuman nature (including animals and animal policy). Relevant topics can be approached from numerous multi-, inter- or cross-disciplinary perspectives. They can cover, for example, the natural environment, natural resources, as well as the built environment. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Wisdom Letters publishes one article, or ‘letter’, in each issue. The Wisdom Letters publications take the form in-between a research publication aimed at the scientific community and a policy brief-type publication serving the society. They present concrete and practical, scientifically justified policy recommendations that can be used to support private and public decision-making as well as educational work. The content published in the articles may be based on new research data. Alternatively, the articles may present policy recommendations utilizing previous research results. All articles follow the same format of Wisdom Letters. The editorial team supports the authors in the editing and formatting process. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

In addition to articles, Wisdom Letters publishes final reports of research projects or research reports that aim to solve questions related to sustainable development, sustainability transition, and planetary well-being. These reports should also present policy recommendations that can be used to support public decision-making and civil society. Also, these publications go through editorial and peer-review processes to ensure scientific quality and must be written in the Wisdom Letters format. The format differs from usual project reports. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

The scientific quality of the Wisdom Letters publications is ensured, in addition to the authors, by the multidisciplinary Editorial team, interdisciplinary Editorial advisory board, and peer-reviewers. Wisdom Letters publications represent publication type A1 (peer-reviewed scientific article) based on the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture (OKM)'s publication classification, and is ranked at level 1 (basic level) in the JUFO Publication Forum's classification of scientific publication channels. The journal has obtained the label for peer-reviewed scholarly publications of the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies and is committed to following the required guidelines.  &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Start by writing a publication proposal &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Concise (max. 500 words) publication proposals are submitted either in Finnish or in English (in accordance with the proposed publication language) to the Editorial secretary or Editor-in-chief. In the publication proposal, it must be stated to which audience the publication is aimed and why it is important to publish an article on the proposed topic in Wisdom Letters. Based on the approved abstracts, publication manuscripts are prepared according to a schedule to be agreed with the Editorial Team. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

The format of Wisdom Letters is partly different from the usual scientific publication series. Authors should pay attention to the concreteness of the policy recommendations given and the general understandability of the text. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;
