American Ornithological Society

Aos publishes the journals ornithology, and Ornithological applications,' both international, peer-reviewed journals. In these journals, authors present their original research and scholarship that advances the fundamental scientific knowledge of bird species and contributes to the understanding of broad biological concepts through studies of bird species. The Society endeavors to publish original works that introduce or employ innovative empirical and theoretical approaches and analyses, applied research and methodology, and disciplinary reviews.

The aos confers significant research grants and prestigious awards to its members in recognition and support of excellence in ornithology. Research grants support student and post-doctoral research across a range of Ornithological disciplines, including conservation, while achievement awards serve to highlight and honor excellence in ornithology by students, early professionals, and senior scientists across academia, government, nonprofits, and the private sector working across the globe.

The aos hosts an intellectually engaging and vital annual meeting that provides opportunities for the dynamic exchange of scientific ideas among students and professionals in the field of ornithology. The aos periodically holds joint conferences in association with other scientific societies dedicated to advancing the Ornithological sciences.

Aos is a membership-based professional organization that serves a diverse international membership through a variety of programs. Aos offers varied benefits, resources and support to members through a cloud-based membership database and member portal
