American Ornithologists’ Union Taps UC Press to Publish The Auk

University of California Press Journals + Digital Publishing is proud to announce that The Auk, one of the oldest and most distinguished journals of ornithological studies in the world, has joined UC Press. The Press is honored to have The Auk become a part of its publishing program and to begin working with the American Ornithologists’ Union, the oldest and largest organization of professional ornithologists in North America. Since 1884, The Auk has been a home for serious research articles and has enriched the discipline with lively debate on both theoretical and methodological developments. It has also been a focal point for the nurturing of the ornithology community in America and has seen many prominent members of the society appear in its pages. The Auk has since grown to become one of the top-ranked ornithology journal based on ISI impact factor ratings. Beginning with Volume 125, Issue 1 in January 2008, ornithologists will be able to find the journal at UC Press available in both online and print editions.
