Ibis publishes original papers, reviews and short communications reflecting the forefront of research activity in ornithological science, but with special emphasis on the conservation, ecology, ethology and systematics of birds. Ibis aims to publish as rapidly as is consistent with the requirements of peer-review and normal publishing constraints.
Instructions to Authors
Author Guidelines
Publication policy
Ibis publishes original papers and comments in English, covering the whole field of ornithology, together with reviews of recent publications, notices of BOU business and matters of interest to members. Submissions will be considered on condition that papers have not been published elsewhere, are not being offered simultaneously to another journal, and that all authors of a paper have read and approved its contents. Contributions will be acknowledged by the Editor and allotted a registration number, which must be quoted by authors in all correspondence. Most papers will be refereed, but the Editor reserves the right to reject papers without review.
The BOU established a policy on the ethics of ornithological research in 1995 (Ibis 137: 457-458). Submitted work should comply with this. Any work carried out under licence should report the licence number.
Submission
Send four copies, together with a photocopy of any relevant research licence, to:
Dr A. G. Gosler,
Ibis Editor,
c/o Edward Grey Institute of Field Ornithology,
Department of Zoology,
South Parks Road,
Oxford OX1 3PS,
UK.
Contributions must include a title page, indicating author details, and the email address of the correspondence author. contributions must be presented in good English and written in a succinct style. Print the text on one side of the paper only, double-spaced, with good margins. Use the Shorter Oxford Dictionary for spelling. Follow the latest Ibis style for section headings, references, etc. Include a summary of not more than 5% of the total text. Short communications include no summary, but should not exceed 2750 words; this is reduced by 250 words for each figure or table. The Editor is pleased to discuss details of layout with authors, but may return a submission without consideration if it is not in style.
Appendices and endnotes
To aid the reader, place detail in appendices or endnotes where possible. Examples include: detailed experimental technique, extensive tabulation of results, computations, procedures, statistical validation (see below). Use a superscript letter to cite endnotes in the text and the corresponding letter in an alphabetical list of endnotes immediately before the reference list.
Statistics
Statistics are essential for proper interpretation of quantitative data. Authors who are doubtful about their statistical analysis are invited to consult the Editor. To aid the reader, full details of the statistical methods used and the results obtained (including degrees of freedom and probability if applicable) must be given. To aid readers further, they should be presented in ways that obtrude on the text as little as is consistent with the requirements of technical validation, such as at the end of a sentence or paragraph, in figures or tables, or as an endnote or appendix. Parameter estimates should generally be provided with standard errors (or confidence limits) and sample sizes.
Nomenclature
For the first mention of a bird species, give the common name followed by the systematic binomial; for taxonomic papers give the authority and date. Then use one name only, preferably the common one. Give trinomials only if relevant. Apply capitals as follows: Short-eared Owl, Red-winged Grey Warbler but owls, warblers. Follow an appropriate authority for common names, e.g. The British List, Birds of the Western Palearctic, etc. Italicize foreign words not adopted into English and phonetic renderings of sounds. Use SI units. If the original measurements were non-SI, give the original with the SI equivalent in parentheses.
Illustrations
Submit four copies of each illustration at twice their final size. The Editor can supply detailed guidelines, which are also available on the BOU website. Basic guidelines are: figures should be designed to fit across one or two columns and be as simple as possible while displaying the data clearly; symbols, lettering, numbering and shading should be simple, of a quality suitable for reproduction and large enough to be read after reduction. All illustrations should have the authors' names and figure numbers clearly marked on the back. Where there is any possibility of doubt, the upper margin of the illustration should be indicated.
Black and white (half-tone) photographs are encouraged. They should be supplied as unmounted glossy prints with two copies, or as colour slides for monochrome printing. Colour plates are also encouraged but the author must bear the cost.
On acceptance of a paper, illustrations may be submitted in electronic format. Vector graphics (eg. line artwork) should be saved in Encapsulated Postscript Format (EPS) and bitmap files (eg. Half tones) in Tagged Image File Format (TIF). Detailed information on illustration standards is available on the publishers homepage at www.blackwell-science.com/elecmed/authors.htm
Acceptance
Papers are processed more accurately if the final version is supplied on disk; instructions on the format required, and copyright transfer forms, are given on acceptance. Accepted papers should be in their final form. Authors will be charged if they wish to make alterations at proof stage.
Copyright
Authors will be required to assign copyright in their paper to British Ornithologists' Union. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. (Papers subject to government or Crown copyright are exempt from this requirement). To assist authors the editorial office will supply an appropriate copyright assignment form. Alternatively authors may like to download a copy of the form from the journal web site at http://www.blackwell-publishing.com/pdf/ibis_caf.pdf
A File Description Form must be completed for all electronic submission of manuscripts.
