Lightly pencil the author's name and the figure number on the back of each figure. All lettering on the figure should conform to the same stylistic conventions as the text of the manuscript. Drawings should be large enough to permit reduction to the size they will appear in print. Figures should be prepared with the size of the journal's pages in mind. The editorial staff will prepare a Spanish title and abstract for all articles accepted for publication.
Authors are welcome to submit suggested Spanish translations.
The Association of Field Ornithologists offers a free service assisting authors of ornithological articles who are not native speakers of English. The goal of this project is to enable and encourage Latin American and other ornithologists to publish their work in widely read international journals. This is not a translation service, however. It will often be useful for the English version to be accompanied by one in the authors' native language. It is important to realize that scientific content will not generally be addressed, however.
