About the journal

Australian Geographer was founded in 1928 and is the nation's oldest geographical journal. It is a high standard, refereed general geography journal covering all aspects of the discipline, both human and physical.
While papers concerning any aspect of geography are considered for publication, the journal focuses primarily on two areas of research:
- Australia and its world 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. For membership and other enquiries please contact: PO BOX 162, Ryde, NSW 1680, Australia.
Peer Review Statement All suitable manuscripts submitted to the Australian Geographer are sent to two referees in a full 'double blind' refereeing process. ?br />All review papers in this journal have undergone editorial screening and peer review.
Instructions to Authors
***Note to Authors: please make sure your contact address information is clearly visible on the outside of all packages you are sending to Editors.***
Manuscripts, normally with a maximum length of 7000 words (shorter contributions are particularly welcome) should be sent to the Editor of Australian Geographer: Associate Professor James Forrest, Department of Human Geography, Macquarie University, NSW 2109, Australia, email: jforrest@els.mq.edu.au.
Submissions can be considered only if one complete copy of each manuscript, including copies only of all illustrations, are received, and also an electronic copy of both text (preferably in WORD) and illustrations, emailed to the editor or on a disc accompanying the hard copy.
A separate cover sheet must bear the paper's title, name(s) of the author(s), affiliation(s), and address(es) for correspondence, including e-mail address. The title of the paper only must head the first page of the manuscript proper, followed by an abstract of 150-200 words and six or seven key words or short phrases. Acknowledgements, notes (if used) and references must follow the main text in that order. Tables must be printed one per page, while figure and plate captions must be on a separate sheet.
Papers should be written in a clear, economical style using gender-neutral language. Spelling should follow the Macquarie Dictionary if at all possible, while care should be taken that the format follows that used in this issue of Australian Geographer. Specific requirements are noted below.
Headings. Up to three levels of headings may be used and these must be clearly differentiated on the manuscript.
Measurements should be given in SI metric units throughout unless it is important to retain historical or foreign units, in which case SI equivalents must be given in parentheses.
Quotations should, if short, be enclosed in single quotation marks. Quotations longer than about 30 words or two lines of text should be indented from each margin, preceded and followed by a blank line, and not be enclosed by quotation marks.
Notes must be kept to an absolute minimum and listed at the end of the text. Footnotes are not permitted.
References should be cited in the text in the form (Bloggs & Smith 1998, P.56; Acme 1923, pp.45-7). All references if (and only if) cited in the text must be listed in alphabetical order in a reference list at the end of the manuscript in the forms used in this issue. It is crucial that all elements of each reference are included.
Tables should be typed on separate sheets, numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals, and kept as simple as possible with a minimum of dividing lines. Their preferred locations should be marked in the text.
Figures and plates. Photographs should be referred to as 'Plates' and line-drawings as 'Figures' and each sequence numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. All Plates and Figures must be clearly identified on the reverse with the short title of the paper and the Plate or Figure number. Their preferred locations should be marked in the text. All illustrations should be prepared at about 1.5 times the final printed size and lettering and symbols must be appropriate for the required level of reduction. Remember that the Editors will wish to reproduce illustrations at the smallest practical size that allows for ready interpretation by readers. Figures must be uncluttered and drawn in such a way as to be clear and self-explanatory as possible. High cartographic standards are expected. Photographic prints must have sufficient contrast to reproduce adequately as half-tones. Original illustrative material will be requested on acceptance of the paper.
Final version on computer disk. Once a paper has been accepted for publication, authors are required to consider any changes suggested by the referees or the Editors and to then submit the corrected version on disk in a standard word processing format, along with one printed copy. While Word Perfect 5.0 or above for IBM compatible (PC) computers is the preferred format, most standard formats (including those for Macintosh) can be converted by the Editor. If in doubt, also save the file in ASCII Text form.
Edited paper. The edited paper will be sent to the (senior) author for checking and corrections must be notified to the Editor by telephone, fax or e-mail in the shortest possible time. There may or may not be an opportunity for authors to check final page proofs, so careful checking at this earlier stage is crucial.
