AJR is published twice a year, usually in July and December, and deadlines for submissions in 2023 are February 1 and July 1.

Articles submitted to AJR should be original contributions and not under consideration for any other publication at the same time. Exceptions should be clearly indicated.

All articles should be submitted by email.

Article submissions, including a brief abstract of 100 to 150 words, should be sent as an email attachment to the Co-Editors Peter English (peter.english@usc.edu.au) and Matthew Ricketson (matthew.ricketson@deakin.edu.au). Please ensure the name(s) and email addresses of the author(s) are clearly indicated, as well as their formal positions and institutional affiliations.

Articles focused on theoretical development and original research should not normally exceed about 6000 words. Preference will be given to articles not exceeding this length. All articles are double blind peer reviewed.

Authors are responsible for obtaining copyright for any illustrations, tables, figures or other material previously published elsewhere. Please note that preference will be given to articles with fewer than six graphs/tables.

Articles should be submitted as Word documents or similar, with a minimum of formatting. Avoid footnotes wherever possible.

AJR adheres to principles of responsible research publication.
