The Condor Migrates to University of California Press in 2008

University of California Press Journals + Digital Publishing is 
proud to announce that the Cooper Ornithological Society, one of 
the oldest and most important ornithological societies in the 
world, has chosen UC Press as its new publishing partner for The 
Condor. Dedicated to the study and conservation of birds, the 
Cooper Ornithological Society has had a longstanding commitment 
to the development of avian scholarship in the service of the 
ornithological community. UC Press is proud to be a part of this 
mission and to help the Society further its goals in the 
conservation of birds and their habitats.

The Press is keen to also be working collaboratively with BioOne 
to assure broad access for libraries to the online version of The 
Condor. The journal will continue to be available via BioOne's 
BioOne.1 collection, a full-text online package of essential 
biological science research journals. The Condor will also be 
made available for purchase as a standalone journal through UC 
Press and its online hosting platform, Caliber. Both print + 
electronic and electronic-only packages will be available for 
institutions from UC Press.

Published continuously since 1899, The Condor has contained 
original research reports and review articles pertaining to the 
biology of wild species of birds. Over time the journal has 
become one of the most respected and distinguished in its field, 
frequently publishing seminal articles in avian biology studies. 
The journal has consistently maintained its position as one of 
the top-ranked ornithology journals in the ISI impact factor 
rankings. Beginning with Volume 110, Issue 1 in February 2008, 
The Condor will be available from UC Press both online and in 
print.

"The Cooper Ornithological Society is extremely pleased to work 
with University of California Press, while retaining partnership 
with BioOne, to increase the reach of The Condor and to advance 
electronic publishing of the journal. We expect this new 
partnership and a new editorial process to take one of the 
premier ornithological journals of the world to a whole new 
level." Thomas E. Martin, President, Cooper Ornithological 
Society

"The Condor has been with BioOne since the aggregation's 
inception in 2001. By partnering with both University of 
California Press and BioOne, The Condor is fulfilling its mission 
to sustainably maximize distribution for the benefit of the 
entire scholarly community." Susan Skomal Executive Director and 
Chief Operating Officer, BioOne

"UC Press is proud to be working with both the Cooper 
Ornithological Society and BioOne to enable a broad range of 
access to The Condor" says Rebecca Simon, Director, University of 
California Press Journals + Digital Publishing. "Such 
collaborations between non-profit, mission-driven organizations 
help assure not only affordable access for libraries but 
sustainable models for the scholarly publishing community."
