| Aims
and scope
Ringing & Migration is the journal
of the British Trust for Ornithology Ringing Scheme (http://www.bto.org/ringing/).
Published since 1975, the December issue incorporates the
Trust’s annual report on bird ringing in Britain &
Ireland for the preceding year. The journal welcomes papers
on all aspects of bird ringing and migration studies but gives
lowest priority to papers involved with methodology alone.
Members of the Editorial Board are very happy to advise first-time
authors on the preparation of manuscripts.
Ringing & Migration concentrates on birds that
occur in the Western Palearctic but welcomes papers from any
part of the world that are relevant to ringing and migration
studies of Western Palearctic birds.
Ringing & Migration publishes
the following types of articles:
Original research papers
Short original research papers (around 1500 words in length)
Scientific reviews
Forum articles covering general ornithological issues, including
non-scientific ones, short feedback articles that make scientific
criticisms of papers published recently in the Journal
Critical book reviews.
Submissions
From September 2007 Ringing & Migration will
accept submissions through the web site
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/bto
Submissions should conform to the guidelines which are found
in the Instructions & Forms section on the opening page
of that web site. These instructions can also be found on
this page by following the Guideline for Authors link above.
Each paper will be acknowledged and will be subject to review
by the Editor and another member of the Editorial Board, an
independent referee, or both. Papers will usually be accepted,
returned for revision or rejected within two months of receipt.
They will usually be published in the order in which fully
revised typescripts are received, subject to such constraints
as the number of pages available in each issue of the journal.
Enquiries about the submission process, advice on the preparation
of manuscripts and the suitability of subject matter for inclusion
in Ringing & Migration can be sent to the Editor,
Dr Chris Redfern, at chris.redfern@newcastle.ac.uk.
