GENERAL INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
The Australian Review of Public Affairs invites submissions consistent with
the aims and scope set out in our mission statement. These must
be original, and are considered for publication in two categories. Digest articles
articulate robust opinions, responding rapidly to contemporary
ideas, trends, proposals and initiatives. Journal papers
are more considered and reflective, and thus subject to more rigorous
review.
All submissions should be written in a clear, direct style appropriate
for an informed general audience. Prospective authors are encouraged
to discuss proposed papers with the Editors prior to submission.
The Australian Review of Public Affairs is indexed in APAIS, and archived by
the National Library of Australia.
Journal Articles
Journal articles, of up to 5,000 words, will in general
be derived from original research. They go beyond the review or
summary of existing thinking to develop a substantive reasoned
argument. In keeping with the breadth our mission, we encourage
articles that stretch prevailing academic constructions of the
relationships between research, advocacy, and civic discourse. Journal submissions
are peer reviewed by multiple anonymous referees. The Journal is
published twice annually.

Digest Articles
Digest articles, written tightly to a strict limit of
1,500 words, include brief commentaries and reviews of materials
of interest to our audience. They should be crisp, engaging, and
free from the hedging and qualification typical of academic prose. Digest submissions
are reviewed by the Editors, and appear online promptly upon acceptance.
