Welcome to the FSC Research Portal!

The Research Portal is comprehensive online catalogue designed to streamline the search for publications relevant to FSC operations. This portal provides access to a wide range of resources, from scientific articles to grey literature, such as reports, thesis and books. It features two main types of publications: FSC Effect-Related Studies, which examine the outcomes and impacts of FSC certification, and FSC Relevant Studies, which support the development of FSC normative documents. In addition, the portal provides FSC staff with summaries of the main findings of the publications it contains, making it a valuable tool for staff seeking to base their work on scientific evidence.
