The Journal of Ornithology, formerly known as the Journal für Ornithologie, is the oldest ornithological periodical in the world. It was established in 1853 and has been published regularly since then, with a brief interruption during World War II. The journal has played a significant role in shaping modern ornithology and has maintained open-minded standards. Over the years, it has featured contributions from renowned ornithologists and covered a wide range of topics, including species definition, taxonomy, comparative morphology, behavior, and evolutionary biology. The journal has undergone changes in editorship and publication format, and it is currently moving towards becoming a fully Open Access journal. [Extracted from the article]
