Avian Biology Research

Avian Biology Research has a growing reputation for publishing a wide range of ornithological research in the 21st century. It bridges the gap between traditional journals that cover aspects of ornithology and those that deal with the study of domesticated species, especially poultry. Now in its fifth volume Avian Biology Research provides a forum for scientists to publish their work, be it reports of original research, themed literatures reviews, meeting abstracts, letters, perspectives, news items, or book reviews.

The Editor-in-Chief will consider any original manuscript that provides novel perspectives on any aspect of ornithology either pure or applied science. In addition, he welcomes any proposals regarding special themed issues of the journal – contact Charles Deeming (cdeeming@lincoln.ac.uk).

Several new enthusiastic editors have been appointed who manage the peer review process and help ensure the highest standards of scientific publication. Avian Biology Research has no page charges nor word limitation. The journal prints colour images at no cost. Authors receive a free pdf reprint of their paper.
