From http://www.ardeola.org/info: Aims and scope Ardeola is the official scientific journal of the Spanish Society of Ornithology (SEO/Birdlife), and it has been published since the Society's foundation in 1954. Ardeola has expanded his scope recently to provide a renewed forum for publication of studies on all aspects of ornithology, carried out both in Spain and elsewhere. Papers dealing with ornithology in the areas of Mediterranean climate and in the Neotropics, as well as with the conservation of birds and their habitats, are especially acknowledged. Ardeola is issued twice at a year (June and December, one volume per year). The main body of the journal is composed by original articles and short notes. Accepted languages are Spanish and English, although the editorial staff encourages the use of English to prospective authors. The editorial staff will promote rapid publication of peer-reviewed manuscripts. Ardeola also publishes the official list of Spanish Rarities and the Checklist of Spanish names of the birds of the world, as well as reviews of most of the books received in the library of SEO/BirdLife and Spanish summaries of the papers dealing with ornithology in areas of Mediterranean climate which are published in other scientific journals. International presence Ardeola is present in some 200 libraries, mainly European but also American, African and Australian. Most of this presence comes from regular interchanges with some 160 ornithological publications, including leading journals in the field such as Ibis, Auk, Condor or Ardea. Additionally, Ardeola is indexed / abstracted in Biological Abstracts/BIOSIS, Current Awareness in Biological Sciences, the Recent Ornithological Literature published by Ibis, Emu and Auk, the Key Word Index of Wildlife Research, the Referativnyi Zhurnal, the Wildlife Review Abstracts, the French scientific database PASCAL, the Directorio Latindex (CINCOC; CSIC) and the Spanish database ICYT. Recently, Ardeola has been selected for coverage in Thomson ISI® services. Beginning with volume 50(1) 2003, journal contents of Ardeola has been indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded®, ISI Alerting Services®, Current Contents®/Agriculture, Biology and Environmental Sciences®. ISI Journal Citation Report® Ranking 2006: 11 / 19(Ornithology). Impact Factor 2006: 0.593.

Formerly Special Issues of the Wader Study Group Bulletin, International Wader Studies is a series of volumes dealing with the ecology of particular shorebird species, habitats, ecological systems or conservation issues. Many have been the result of IWSG conferences, symposia or workshops.

The organization changed its name to the International Wader Study Group in 2001.

The International Wader Study Group is an organisation of enthusiastic professionals and amateurs researching waders, also called shorebirds. The involvement of the members of the IWSG in wader research ranges from observing waders in ones own ‘backyard’ to extensive, long-term studies aiming at a deeper understanding of spectacular wader phenomena like long-distance migration, living in extreme environments and variable reproductive strategies. The aims of the International Wader Study Group are to: maintain contact between both amateurs and professionals studying waders help organise co-operative studies; and provide a vehicle for exchange of information on waders and their biology. The organization was called the Wader Study Group until it changed its name in 2001.

Wader Study Group Bulletin is the former journal of the International Wader Study Group. The last volume (121) was published in December 2014. Since January 2015 the Bulletin is continued to be published as Wader Study. The volume numbers were continued, making the first volume of Wader Study, number 122.
