Ringing & Migration is the journal of the British Trust for Ornithology Ringing Scheme. The journal began as a supplement to Bird Study in the early 1970s. Published as a separate journal since 1975, the December issue incorporates the Trust's annual report on bird ringing in Britain & Ireland for the preceding year. The journal welcomes papers on all aspects of bird ringing and migration studies but gives lowest priority to papers involved with methodology alone. Members of the Editorial Board are very happy to advise first-time authors on the preparation of manuscripts.

Ringing & Migration concentrates on birds that occur in the Western Palearctic but welcomes papers from any part of the world that are relevant to ringing and migration studies of Western Palearctic birds.

Ringing & Migration publishes the following types of articles:

• Original research papers
• Short original research papers (around 1500 words in length)
• Scientific reviews
• Forum articles covering general ornithological issues, including non-scientific ones
• short feedback articles that make scientific criticisms of papers published recently in the Journal
• Critical book reviews.
