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.

一个多世纪以来，威尔逊鸟类学会出版了一本学术期刊，其形式和内容对专业和业余鸟类学家来说都很容易理解。《威尔逊鸟类学杂志》是一份季刊，包含基于鸟类原始研究的主要文章和描述特别有趣的观察的简短通讯。每期还包括对鸟类和相关主题的新书的评论以及鸟类学新闻。通过已故的乔治·米克施·萨顿的捐赠，该期刊的每一期都包含全彩封面。每卷当前约有 500 页。该期刊的主要重点是研究现存鸟类、它们的行为、生态学、适应性生理学和保护。

虽然大多数文章源自西半球的研究（大部分关于新热带鸟类的研究都发表在这里），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鸟类学期刊。爱德华兹奖每年颁发一次，以表彰前一年发表的最佳重要论文。
