View a list of the latest free articles available from Australian GeographerWhile papers concerning any aspect of geography are considered for publication, The Australian Geographer focuses primarily on two areas of research: Australia and its region, including developments, issues and policies in Australia, the western Pacific, the Indian Ocean, Asia and Antarctica. Environmental studies, particularly the biophysical environment and human interaction with it. Papers dealing with international issues, or with nations other than Australia and those within its region, must have an Australian, Asian or Pacific perspective or deal with implications for Australia or its neighbours. Papers addressing theoretical and philosophical issues in geography are also sought. Preference will be given to papers which have a broad appeal to geographers, geography educators and people in cognate areas including Australian studies and environmental studies. Consideration will also be given to shorter papers and notes on topical issues of geographical interest that fall within the areas listed above.Australian Geographer is the journal of the Geographical Society of New South Wales Inc.

It is the policy of the Australian Journal of Electrical & Electronics Engineering (AJEEE) to publish a variety of contributions to the science and practice of electrical engineering. Major fields of interest include electronics and communications, electric energy, instrumentation and control, and automation.

The AJEEE aims to publish reviewed technical papers in these major fields of interest, as well as in allied fields. Papers should be related to the relevant fields and will usually fall into one of the following categories:

• Research Paper - a paper making an original contribution to engineering knowledge.
• Special Interest Paper – a report on significant aspects of a major or notable project.
• Review Paper for specialists – an overview of a relevant area intended for specialists in the field covered.
• Review Paper for non-specialists – an overview of a relevant area suitable for a reader with an electrical/electronics background.
• Tutorial Paper – a paper that explains an important subject or clarifies the approach to an area of design or investigation.
• Technical Note – a technical note or letter to the Editors that is not sufficiently developed or extensive in scope to constitute a full paper.
• Discussion – a contribution to discuss a published paper to which the original author's response will be sought.

From time to time, invitations are presented to particular authors to write papers for the AJEEE. This most usually occurs when it is decided to collect a number of papers relating to one subject for a given issue, often with a guest editor.

The Australian Journal of Forensic Sciences is the official publication of the Australian Academy of Forensic Sciences and helps the Academy meet its Objects.The Academy invites submission of review articles, research papers, commentaries, book reviews and correspondence relevant to Objects of the Academy.
