Journal of Mexican Ornithology

HUITZIL is a scientific journal created with the intention of promoting the interchange of information generated about the birds of Mexico and achieving its quick and inexpensive distribution. Its distribution is carried out in electronic format. The numbers in the electronic format can be obtained and printed free of charge through the internet in "Published papers in HUITZIL".

HUITZIL publishes information relevant to Mexican ornithology. This is published in five sections as follows:

•    Scientific

•    Results of surveys

•    New records and range extensions

•    Conservation

•    Teaching ornithology

The journal also has a News Mailbox. Information of immediate and temporary interest, such as notices of meetings, appeals for ornithological information, and available job placements, is distributed in the News Mailbox.

Articles sent to HUITZIL should contain original information not previously published. Manuscripts will be evaluated by the Editor in Chief, one Associate Editor, and two invited reviewers. Authors interested in sending manuscripts to the magazine are invited to read the Editorial Guidelines of HUITZIL.
