With a 100-year history (beginning in 1925 as the Bulletin of the Northeastern Bird-Banding Association), the Journal of Field Ornithology (JFO) represents one of the longest-published research journals in Ornithology. Starting in 2022, as part of our commitment to lowering barriers and increasing access, the journal transitioned to a fully digital and open-access format through our publishing agreement with the non-profit Resilience Alliance. JFO proudly has one of the lowest article-processing charges among open access journals. Would you like to be part of this ongoing history?
We invite you to apply to join this publishing tradition as the next co-editor-in-chief of JFO for an initial 4-year term, re-confirmed annually by the AFO Council. You will be joining current co-editor-in-chief, Dr. Rafael Rueda-Hernández, who has been co-EiC for the past year and a half, while the outgoing co-EiC, Dr. Mark E. Hauber, will be wrapping up a 5-year term with JFO at the end of March 2026.
