Instructions for 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 http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/bci

Submission of a paper is taken to imply that it is unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere.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 7,000 words (the word count is inclusive of all parts of the manuscript, including the title page, abstract, references, table and figure legends, but excluding files uploaded as Supplementary Materials) should discuss the work with the Editor at an early stage in its preparation.

BCI 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 MicrosoftWord or a compatible format. If in doubt please supply your paper in rich text format. and give details of the word processing software used. Line numbering is required for all manuscripts.

Guidelines for submitting figures can be found by accessing the Cambridge Core Artwork Guide here.

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 IUCNRed List, the latest categories and criteria should be used (or with dates as appropriate; these can be accessed/checked at http://www.iucnredlist.org/).

If a conservation intervention was tested, provide a least a sentence summarizing the evidence related to the intervention in the introduction. If there is no previously published evidence, please state that. A good place to check for existing evidence relating to conservation interventions is the database found at Conservation Evidence.

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.
