Feature Papers of Birds 2021
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled "Feature Papers of Birds 2021", which will be one of the first of a new journal, Birds. Birds is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal, which provides an advanced forum for studies on all aspects of ornithology. The journal will complete the group of international journals in the field of ornithology, and we are expecting to gain popularity and prestige very soon.
In this first Special Issue, we are willing to receive manuscripts from all ornithological fields considered to be of interest to our international readers. In this case, well-designed studies and good datasets are required to promote the quality of, and interest in, our new journal. We welcome both original research articles and comprehensive review papers. The papers in this Special Issue will be published via our open access platform after a thorough peer review, a process which will benefit both our authors and readers.
As evidenced by the keywords list, the fields to be included in this Special Issue have been broadened to best represent the scope of the journal, whilst opening up more chances for international research contributions.
You are welcome to send short proposals for feature paper submissions to the Editorial Office (birds@mdpi.com) before submission.
We look forward to receiving your excellent work.
Dr. Jukka Jokimäki
Guest Editor
