Ringing & Migration publishes high quality papers on all aspects of avian ecology, with a particular emphasis on the use of ringing, tracking and nest monitoring to improve our understanding of factors influencing survival, breeding success, migration and other movements. Although the focus is on birds that occur in the Western Palearctic the journal also welcomes papers from other parts of the world that are relevant to studies of Western Palearctic avifauna.
The journal encourages and supports field ornithologists, many of whom are carrying out their research interests in a voluntary capacity and without any academic or institutional affiliation. In recognition of the key role that these volunteers play in conservation and the challenges presented by increasing standards of study design and analytical techniques, members of the Editorial Board are very happy to advise such authors on the preparation of manuscripts.
