American Ornithologists' Union Taps UC Press as Partner to Publish The Auk

Berkeley, California - July 5, 2007, 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 journals 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.

"The American Ornithologists' Union and University of California 
Press are natural partners, as we share the same academic and 
non-profit goals.  We look forward to serving our subscribers 
better, particularly through offering a wider array of print and 
electronic subscription options." -Erica Dunn, President, 
American Ornithologists Union

"We are honored and very pleased to have been chosen by the AOU 
to publish The Auk, which is widely regarded as one of the 
foremost journals in ornithology" says Rebecca Simon, Director, 
University of California Press Journals + Digital Publishing. "We 
deeply value our partnership with the AOU and the common ground 
we share in promoting scholarly inquiry and the use of research 
to serve the public good as well as the scientific community."
