Journal Title：Wilson Journal Of Ornithology

Aims & Scope

For more than a century, the Wilson Ornithological Society has published a scholarly journal with form and content readily accessible to both professional and amateur ornithologists. The Wilson Journal of Ornithology is a quarterly publication consisting of major articles based on original studies of birds and short communications that describe observations of particular interest. Each issue also includes reviews of new books on birds and related subjects, as well as ornithological news. Through an endowment from the late George Miksch Sutton, each issue of the Journal includes a full color frontispiece. Each current volume consists of approximately 500 pages. The principal focus of the Journal is the study of living birds, their behavior, ecology, adaptive physiology and conservation.

Although most articles originate from work conducted in the western hemisphere (a large portion of the research on Neotropical birds is published here), the geographic coverage of the journal is global. The Journal is internationally recognized as an important, major journal of ornithology. The Edwards Prize is given annually for the best major article published during the previous year.

The Wilson Journal of Ornithology was formerly named the Wilson Bulletin.

目标和范围

一个多世纪以来，Wilson Ornithological Society 出版了一本学术期刊，其形式和内容都可供专业和业余鸟类学家使用。威尔逊鸟类学杂志是一份季刊，由主要文章组成，这些文章基于对鸟类的原始研究和描述特别感兴趣的观察的简短交流。每期还包括对鸟类和相关主题的新书以及鸟类学新闻的评论。通过已故的乔治·米克施·萨顿 (George Miksch Sutton) 的捐赠，《华尔街日报》的每一期都包括一个全彩卷首。当前每卷大约有 500 页。该期刊的主要重点是研究活体鸟类、它们的行为、生态学、适应性生理学和保护。

虽然大多数文章都来自西半球的工作（大部分关于新热带鸟类的研究都在这里发表），但该期刊的地理覆盖范围是全球性的。该期刊是国际公认的重要的鸟类学主要期刊。爱德华兹奖每年颁发一次，奖励上一年发表的最佳主要文章。

威尔逊鸟类学杂志以前被命名为威尔逊公报。
