Australian Field Ornithology
journal
Australian Field Ornithology is an online peer-reviewed ornithological journal published by BirdLife Australia. It covers topics relating to Australasian birds, including behaviour and ecology, with an emphasis on observations and data gained in the field.
History
Originally published by the Bird Observers Club of Australia (BOCA), it was first named the Australian Bird Watcher, with the name changed in 2003. Following the merger between BOCA and Birds Australia at the beginning of 2012, it has continued to be published by the merged organisation. The founding editor-in-chief from 1959 to 1976 was Roy Percy Cooper. As of 2017 the editor is James Fitzsimons. The journal moved to an online-only format in 2016.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Australian Field Ornithology” as journal. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as journal. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 22, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q4824142. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2003, 2012, 1959 and 1976.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
