About the journal Established in 1946 (as Australian Outlook) the Australian Journal of International Affairs (AJIA) is Australia's leading scholarly journal in this area.
AJIA is the journal of the Australian Institute of International Affairs. The Institute was established in 1933 as an independent and non-political body and its purpose is to stimulate interest in and understanding of international affairs among its members and the general public.
The aim of AJIA is to publish high quality scholarly research on international political, social, economic and legal issues, especially (but not exclusively) within the Asia-Pacific region. The journal publishes two types of articles: 'Commentaries' and 'Articles'. 'Commentaries' are extended opinion pieces on a current topic of major interest, and are succinct with a clear line of argument. 'Articles' are traditional scholarly articles. The journal also publishes research notes, book reviews, review essays, notes and news from the Institute, and an annual review of Australian foreign policy.

If you have written an article which has been accepted by the Editor for publication in the Australian Journal of International Affairs, it will greatly expedite the process of publication and minimise the risk of errors appearing if you observe the following requests.
All articles are copy edited in house to ensure consistency with Journal style and formatted for transmission to the publishers in the UK. After this sub-editing, each article is sent to the publishers electronically. Unfortunately, this sometimes creates difficulties. For example, if tables are converted to 'rtf' for e-mailing, they almost always get distorted in transmission. Also, the publishers cannot accept text with tables, figures or diagrams embedded in it. So please help us to avoid problems with your article in the following ways..
1. Word-processor application Please use either MSWord for Windows or WordPerfect for Windows. Please also ensure before you start typing that the 'language' is set to Australian English.
2. Tables, diagrams and figures The text must clearly show where these are to appear. Simply type [Table 1 here] or whatever it may be, at the appropriate place.
The tables, figures or diagrams themselves must be provided in a separate word-processor document, with each table etc. clearly identified and on a separate page. Please present them in MSWord for Windows and not in rtf.
3. Notes Do not use footnotes under any circumstances.
Keep notes to the minimum; if you feel they are essential, please consider including them in the text within parenthesis. Failing this, signal each note in sequence by typing at the appropriate place in the text a number in square brackets like this: [2]. (Do not use your word-processor's system for automatically creating endnotes). Having placed the number in the text, as shown, go to the bottom of your text and type the note; then return to where the number is and carry on.
4. References The Journal uses the Harvard system of referencing. If your article is sent with footnoted references, it may not be accepted since converting to the Harvard system often engenders major errors which cannot be checked. References within the text must appear in parentheses, e.g. (Smith et al. 2002). The list of references must appear at the end of the document, after any notes you may make. The style for references can be seen in any recent issue of the Journal. Please make sure (a) that all references noted in the text are given in full in the final references list and (b) that the list of references does not include anything that has not been signalled in the text. If you wish to refer the reader to publications for further reading, append a separate list headed Further Reading.
5. Format Keep the format to straight text. Do not embellish it with borders, font changes, headers, footers, numbered paragraphs and so on. These all have to be removed before the document can be prepared for the printer, so there is no point in putting them in (and sometimes they are difficult to extract). In particular, avoid using MSWord 'styles'. Do not generate lists with computer-provided dot-points. To indicate a list, simply start each new line with a full stop and a space like this:
. tomatoes; . onions; . potatoes; and . capsicums.
In the text, by all means use bold or italic type, capital letters and so on to indicate emphasis or to head sections.
6. Additional matter
(a) Please supply with your article an abstract of approximately 150 words. (This is not obligatory with un-refereed articles for the 'Commentaries' section but you may like to provide one).
(b) The Journal no longer gives the affiliation of authors at the head of their articles. Instead there is a section entitled 'Notes on our contributors'. Please supply with your article a brief biographical note for inclusion in this section.
(c) The publishers will send you a printed copy of the journal in which your article appears and will also make offprints available to you online. To facilitate this, please send with your article your preferred postal address and your preferred email address.
Proofs
It will be assumed that the text as you transmit it to the Editorial Manager is what you want to have printed. If any more than minor stylistic changes are made in copy editing, your text will be emailed back for your approval. Proofs are not sent to the authors but returned by the publishers to the Editorial Manager for checking.
Your cooperation is much appreciated and will help to ensure that your article is published as it should be. If you have any queries about the matters listed above, please contact the Editorial Manager, Philip Grundy, by e-mail to lerpress@netspeed.com.au or by phone (02) 6288 3739. |
