About the journal
 Bird Conservation International is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal focusing on the conservation of birds and their habitats. The official journal of BirdLife International, it provides stimulating, international and up-to-date coverage of a broad range of conservation topics, using birds to illuminate wider issues of biodiversity conservation and sustainable resource use. Bird Conservation International publishes original papers and reviews, including specifically-targeted articles and recommendations by leading experts. It seeks to promote world-wide research and action for the conservation of birds and the habitats upon which they depend.
Instructions to Authors
Bird Conservation International
Bird Conservation International publishes papers and communications on subjects relevant to the conservation of birds, with a general preference for those addressing international or high national priorities.
Submission of manuscripts
Electronic versions of papers may be submitted via email to bci.editor@mmu.ac.uk
Please include the author's postal address, e-mail address, telephone and fax number. Name(s) and postal address(es) should appear at the end of the article, in the format adopted. Submission of a paper is taken to imply that it is unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere.
Papers should be concise and factual, taking proper account of previous relevant literature; opinions expressed should be based on adequate evidence. Whilst there is no formal restriction on length, authors planning to submit a paper which is likely to exceed 15 printed pages should discuss the work with the Editor at an early stage in its preparation. BCI now supports on-line supplementary materials on the journal webpages. Wherever possible lengthy appendices and graphics, and other supplementary materials such as detailed methods, calculations, site-by-site bird lists, sound files and photographs should make use of this facility.
Titles of papers must be accurate and concise, and (for the benefit of abstraction services) include any relevant scientific (taxonomic) name; a running head is needed (the editors will provide this if authors do not). A full-length paper must include a proper summary. We welcome word-for-word translations of summaries where appropriate.
Papers should be double-spaced throughout, with positions of figures and tables indicated in the margin. We prefer Microsoft Word or a compatible format. If in doubt please supply your paper in rich text format. and give details of the word processing software used.
Conventions
Whenever possible, authors should consult an issue of BCI for style and layout. Spelling generally follows The shorter Oxford English dictionary, supplemented by various standard references such as 'Topography' in A dictionary of birds (1985) and the most recent edition of The Times atlas of the world. Localities with well-known other spellings or older names should have these placed in parentheses after first mention, while localities too small to be in the Times atlas should be given their precise geographical co-ordinates (preferably with some evidence of source).
Authors are encouraged to follow BirdLife International’s taxonomy (the latest Checklist can be downloaded from http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/species/taxonomy.html) and to provide explanations of any deviation, if they choose not to. On first mention of a bird both English and scientific name should be given, thereafter only one, preferably the English. Scientific trinomials need be used only if sub specific nomenclature is relevant to the topic under discussion. These recommendations also apply for any other animal or plant species mentioned.
Where reference is made to the IUCN Red List, the latest categories and criteria should be used (or with dates as appropriate; these can be accessed/checked at http://www.iucnredlist.org/).
Metric units and their international symbols should be used (other systems of measurement can be added in parentheses), with temperatures in the Centigrade (Celsius) scale. Numbers one to nine are written in full except when linked with a measurement abbreviation or higher number, thus 'five birds' but '5 km' and '5-12 birds'; numerals are used for all numbers above ten, four-figure numbers and above using the comma thus: '1,234', '12,345'. Details of experimental technique, extensive tabulations of results, etc., are best presented as appendices. Dates should be written 1 January 1985, times of day as 08h30, 17h55 (24-hour clock), etc. When citing a conversation ('verbally') or letter ('in litt,'), the contact's name and initials should be included preferably with the year of communication.
Keywords
A list of at least three keywords should be provided for publication in the journal. These should accurately and concisely reflect the content of the paper and relevant scientific names not given in the title should be included here.
Figures
Figures should be numbered consecutively as they appear in the text with an appropriate reference such as ?Figure 1)? The position of each figure should be indicated in the margin. The numbered figures and their captions should be placed on separate pages at the end of the manuscript or as separate files. Wherever possible they will be reproduced with the author's original lettering. Maps are best marked with a scale and north arrow, and drawn very neatly, ensuring that text and symbols are large enough to be legible if the figure is reduced in size (as is often necessary). Good photographs are also considered.
Tables
Tables should also be numbered consecutively as they appear in the text with an appropriate reference such as ?Table 1)? The position of each table should be indicated in the margin. The numbered tables with concise headings should be typed on separate pages at the end of the manuscript.
References
References in the text should not use ampersand or comma before the date, and should be chronologically listed, alphabetically if in the same year. Publications by the same authors in the same year may be distinguished by a, b, etc., after the date. Full references must be listed alphabetically at the end in conformity with the existing system of presentation (which should be carefully checked before submission).
Proofs
The corresponding author will receive by e-mail, page proofs for checking which they are required to return within three days of receipt. Textual changes in proof cannot normally be countenanced and the publisher reserves the right to charge authors for excessive correction on non-typographical errors.
Offprints
No paper offprints will be supplied to the author but he/she will receive by email a pdf copy of their published paper.
