The Journal of Raptor Research is distributed quarterly to all current members. Original manuscripts
dealing with the biology and conservation of diurnal and nocturnal birds of prey are welcomed from
throughout the world, but must be written in English. Submissions can be in the form of research articles,
short communications, letters to the editor, and book reviews. Contributors should submit a typewritten
original and three copies to the Editor. All submissions must be typewritten and double-spaced on one
side of 216 X 278 mm (8% X 1 1 in.) or standard international, white, bond paper, with 2.5 mm (1 in.) mar-
gins. The cover page should contain a title, the author’s full name(s) and address (es). Name and address
should be centered on the cover page. If the current address is different, indicate this via a footnote. A
short version of the title, not exceeding 35 characters, should be provided for a running head. An
abstract of about 250 words should accompany all research articles on a separate page.
Tables, one to a page, should be double-spaced throughout and be assigned consecutive Arabic numer-
als. Collect all figure legends on a separate page. Each illustration should be centered on a single page
and be no smaller than final size and no larger than twice final size. The name of the author(s) and figure
number, assigned consecutively using Arabic numerals, should be pencilled on the back of each figure.
Names for birds should follow the A.O.U. Checklist of North American Birds (7th ed., 1998) or another
authoritative source for other regions. Subspecific identification should be cited only when pertinent to
the material presented. Metric units should be used for all measurements. Use the 24-hour clock (e.g.,
0830 H and 2030 H) and “continental” dating (e.g., 1 January 1999).
Refer to a recent issue of the journal for details in format. Explicit instructions and publication policy
are outlined in “Information for contributors,”/. Raptor Res., Vol. 38(4), and are available from the editor.
Submit manuscripts to Bednarz at the address listed above.
