Australasian Journal of Environmental Management is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal focusing on environmental management, policy, and practice across Australasia. It publishes research articles, case studies, reviews, and commentaries that address environmental planning, conservation, sustainability, restoration, and governance. The journal engages with regional and international issues affecting Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Island states, and neighbouring Asian nations.
The journal was established in the mid-1990s amid growing international attention to Rio de Janeiro’s outcomes and regional responses in the wake of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development and subsequent policy shifts. Early editorial leadership drew contributors from institutions such as the University of Melbourne, University of Auckland, Australian National University, and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation. Over successive editorial terms links developed with organizations including the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the World Wildlife Fund, and national agencies like the Department of the Environment (Australia) and Ministry for the Environment (New Zealand). The journal’s history parallels broader regional dialogues involving actors such as Asian Development Bank, United Nations Environment Programme, and networks like the Australasian Wildlife Management Society.
The journal aims to bridge research, policy, and practice by publishing interdisciplinary work on topics such as biodiversity conservation, coastal management, water resources, urban ecology, climate change adaptation, and Indigenous environmental stewardship. It seeks contributions from scholars affiliated with universities like University of Sydney, Monash University, Victoria University of Wellington, and research institutes such as CSIRO, Landcare Research, and GNS Science. The journal has targeted audiences that include policymakers from bodies like Australian Government departments, planners from state and territorial agencies (e.g., New South Wales Government, Queensland Government), and practitioners in NGOs such as Conservation Volunteers Australia and Forest & Bird.
Editorial oversight has featured academics and professionals drawn from institutions including Griffith University, James Cook University, University of Canterbury, and University of Otago. The peer review process employs external referees from disciplinary hubs like Princeton University, University of Oxford, National University of Singapore, and regional partners such as University of the South Pacific. Editorial policies align with standards promoted by organizations such as the Committee on Publication Ethics and publishers like Taylor & Francis Group. Guest editors for special issues have included figures associated with centers like the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Smithsonian Institution.
Published by Taylor & Francis, the journal appears on a scheduled quarterly basis with both print and electronic editions. Access models have evolved alongside mandates from funders including Australian Research Council and international agencies such as the European Commission and National Science Foundation (United States), leading to a blend of subscription and hybrid open access options. Distribution channels include academic platforms used by libraries at institutions such as Harvard University, University College London, and regional consortia including the Council of Australian University Librarians.
The journal is indexed in major bibliographic and citation services used by researchers at organizations like Scopus, Web of Science, and subject-specific indexes deployed by bodies such as the GreenFILE consortium and the Directory of Open Access Journals for policy visibility. Libraries at institutions such as Yale University, University of Toronto, and University of California rely on these indexing services to curate environmental literature. Indexing enhances discoverability among stakeholders affiliated with agencies like Food and Agriculture Organization and International Maritime Organization when researching coastal and marine management.
The journal has been cited in policy reports prepared for entities such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the Commonwealth of Nations environmental reviews, and assessments by regional organizations like the Pacific Islands Forum. Academics from Duke University, University of Cambridge, and Zhejiang University reference its articles in studies on adaptation and conservation. Reception in practitioner networks—such as state environment departments in Victoria (Australia), NGOs like The Nature Conservancy, and consulting firms serving the Australian Capital Territory—reflects its role in translating research into management interventions.
Special issues have addressed themes linked to events and institutions such as the Kyoto Protocol negotiations, the Paris Agreement, and coral reef responses pertinent to Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. Notable articles have examined Indigenous co-management involving communities represented by organizations like Aboriginal Land Councils and tribal bodies in Aotearoa New Zealand, coastal resilience in states such as Queensland, and urban greening initiatives in cities including Melbourne and Auckland. Guest-edited collections have involved collaborators from the World Bank and research programs funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council.
The journal maintains connections with regional and international meetings such as the International Association for Impact Assessment conferences, the Australasian Environmental Studies Conference, and workshops hosted by entities like CSIRO and Landcare Research. Partnerships and outreach engage professional bodies including the Planning Institute of Australia, the Royal Society Te Apārangi, and conservation networks like BirdLife Australia. These relationships facilitate special issues, symposia, and cross-publication initiatives involving universities, government agencies, and NGOs.
