About the journal
Journal of Field Ornithology publishes original emprical and methodological papers dealing with the ecology, behavior, taxonomy, life history, and zoogeography of birds in their natural habitats. The journal also features an extensive review (300-350 reviews annually) of current foreign ornithological literature. All articles are written in English, but also carry a Spanish translation of the title and abstract.
The Journal of Field Ornithology is the quarterly publication of the Association of Field Ornithologists. The Journal welcomes original articles that emphasize the descriptive or experimental study of birds in their natural habitats. Articles describing techniques or methodological refinements must have relevance beyond a single species or study system. Contributions are encouraged from throughout the world, but must be written in English. The Journal is especially interested in studies conducted in the Neotropics and those involving participation by nonprofessional ornithologists.
Instructions to Authors
Articles should be submitted in quadruplicate to the Editor: Charles R. Brown, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Tulsa, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74104-3189 USA. A cover letter should include the title of the paper, a statement that the paper (as a whole or in part) has not be published or submitted for publication elsewhere, and the name, mailing address, and email address for the subsequent nine months of the corresponding author.
Authors are encouraged to suggest the name of 4-5 potential reviewers (although the Editor may choose reviewers other than those suggested). The Journal as yet does not accept electronic submissions.
Format
Prepare manuscripts carefully with attention to all details. Manuscripts that depart from these guidelines will be returned without review. Print the paper double-spaced throughout (including the title page, tables, and figure legends); use the same font (no smaller than 12 point) throughout the manuscript. Manuscripts should be printed on one side of good quality bond paper that measures 21.5 X 28 cm (8.5 X 11 in). Margins should be at least 2.5 cm (1 in) on all sides of the page. Do not use italic or bold type; underline text that should appear in italic (e.g., scientific names). Place the first author's last name and the page number (starting with the abstract on page 2 and continuing throughout the Literature Cited) in the upper right corner of each page. Only laser printed or letter-quality manuscripts are acceptable; manuscripts using low density (low quality) dot-matrix print will be returned. Authors should use recent issues of the Journal as a general guide in preparing their manuscripts.
Title page. -- In the upper left corner provide the author's name (e.g., R. T. Smith; R. T. Smith and P. R. Jones; or E. F. Hunt et al.) as a left running head and, below this, a short title as a right running head. In the upper right provide the name and address of the author to receive proofs. Centered below these, provide the full title (double-spaced) and the name of all authors and their addresses at the time the research was conducted. Each author's current address, if different, should be given as a numbered footnote at the bottom of the title page. The corresponding author should be indicated by providing his/her email address in a footnote. Use a recent issue of the Journal for correct formatting and style of author and address listings.
Abstract. -- The second page should be an abstract that does not exceed 5% of the length of the paper. The abstract should explain the purpose of the study, describe the principal findings, and state the main conclusions. Many readers will rely heavily on the abstract so it should be as descriptive as possible. Avoid uninformative sentences such as "The significance of these results is discussed." Generally, quantitative results (e.g., sample sizes, P-values) are unnecessary in Abstracts and can be summarized in narrative fashion. Below the Abstract, provide 5-6 keywords that describe the subject of the paper; these need not duplicate words in the title. The editorial staff will prepare a Spanish title and abstract for all articles accepted for publication. Authors are welcome to submit their own Spanish translations.
Text. -- Begin the text on page 3. The English and scientific names of a species should be given the first time it is mentioned. The scientific name should be underlined; do not use italic type. Bird names should follow the AOU Check-list of North American Birds (1998) and supplements or the appropriate equivalent unless departures are explained and defined. The first letter of common names of bird species should be capitalized. Use metric units. Measurement unit abbreviations should be those given in the fifth edition of the CBE Style Manual, 5th edition (1983). Use the 24-hour clock (05:00 and 17:00) and "continental" dating (10 March 1992). Define all symbols, abbreviations, and acronyms but minimize their use. Probability values should be written as P = 0.025; give exact values when possible even for nonsignificant results (P = 0.67, not P > 0.05 or NS). Sample size is abbreviated N. Use the following abbreviations: second, s; minute, min; hour, h; month, mo; week, wk; year, yr. Statistical tests should be clearly specified, and degrees of freedom written as a subscript to the test statistic (e.g., c23, F34,56). Test statistics should be given with all P-values.
Acknowledgments. -- Institutional affiliations are not allowed for persons thanked in Acknowledgments.
Literature Cited. -- List literature citations alphabetically by the first author's last name in a Literature Cited section following the Acknowledgments. Literature Cited entries (in a style conforming to that in the latest issue of the Journal) should be carefully double-checked against citations in the text. Journal and publisher names are spelled out in their entirety. Text citations should be in the author-year format (LeConte 1995; Edwards and Sutton 1994, 1996; Darwin et al. 1997); multiple text citations should be in sequential order by year of publication. If you cite or quote critical material directly from longer works, indicate the pertinent pages (e.g., Smith 1994:23-24). Unpublished papers should not be cited unless a copy has been deposited in the Van Tyne Library at the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, where they may be obtained for use by other researchers. Do not cite manuscripts that are in preparation or review and avoid citation of "gray" literature such as technical reports by governmental agencies that are often difficult for other researchers to find. Regularly published serial publications containing chapters by multiple authors, such as Current Ornithology, Farner and King's Avian Biology, and Studies in Avian Biology should be cited as journal articles. Accounts from the Birds of North America series should be cited using the style for book chapters. Examples of citation style:

Tables. -- Each table should be printed double-spaced throughout on a separate page. Place the tables after the Literature Cited. Tables should be numbered sequentially and include a concise and informative title. Do not use additional sentences after the Table's title; material necessary to clarify the table should be presented as footnotes to the table. Tables should supplement, not duplicate, material in the text or figures. Compose tables carefully and use all stylistic conventions (e.g., abbreviations) as the text. Tables should be prepared with the size of the journal's pages and its double-column format in mind. Avoid wide, shallow tables.
Figures. -- Submit figures as glossy 13 X 18 cm (5 X 7 in) black-and-white prints or laser-printed originals. Lightly pencil the author's name and the figure number on the back of each figure. Figures should be uncluttered, but convey a maximum amount of information; they should not duplicate material in the text or tables. When preparing figures use "thin" rather than "fat" letters so that reduction of the figure will not close the spaces in letters such as "e" or "p", and do not use boldface font in figures. Use high-quality computer graphics and lettering on a laser printer; for laser-printed graphs, submit original printed versions on each manuscript copy rather than photocopies. All lettering on the figure should conform to the same stylistic conventions as the text of the manuscript, including abbreviations. Original drawings should be large enough to permit reduction to the size they will appear in print. Figures should be prepared with the size of the journal's pages and double-column format in mind. Type (double-spaced) figure legends consecutively on one page. Do not print keys to dot symbols or shading types on the figure; define these in the legend. Do not use four-letter Bird Banding Laboratory species abbreviations (e.g., CLSW) in figures or anywhere in the manuscript. Authors are encouraged to follow the suggestions of Kroodsma (2000, Auk 117:1081-1083) in preparing figure legends and titles of tables, in which the main point of the figure or table is clearly illustrated in the legend or title. Figures and tables should be designed to convey information when standing alone; extensive cross-referencing of them to the text (e.g., "see Methods") is unacceptable.
