Tietoa julkaisusta

Ornis Fennica is a peer-reviewed international ornithological journal published by BirdLife Finland. Ornis Fennica publishes analytical and experimental papers on the ecology, behaviour and biogeography of birds. We prefer studies concerning Fennoscandian species, but other novel contributions of general interest are most welcome as well.

First decisions are usually made within three months of submission. The journal is published quarterly, but all papers appear as online early versions.

Our peer-review process follows the principles outlined by the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies. From No. 4/2015 onwards, all peer-reviewed publications in the journal are marked with a peer-review label.

Ornis Fennica is an open-access journal without page charges for publication. All published articles (from 1924 onwards) are freely available in the journal website Archives and in the publication portal of BirdLife Finland.

Ornis Fennica is an open access publication distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The first issue distributed under Creative Commons Attribution License was Volume 98 Issue 4 (2021).

In January 2022, Ornis Fennica has changed to a new submission system and website in January 2022 to serve both authors, reviewers and editors.
