Editorial Structure

The Editor-in-Chief has overall responsibility for the journal. All submissions to the Australian and New Zealand Continence Journal are assessed initially by the Editor-in-Chief and, if considered to lie within the journal's scope and to be of sufficient quality, are assigned to an Associate Editor who oversees the external peer review process. The Associate Editors are renowned researchers whose expertise spans topics relevant to the journal's scope. The journal has an Editorial Advisory Board with backgrounds intersecting health services executive, academia and clinical care and with expertise across priority heath policy areas.

Our journal editors are expected to work within the framework of the Core Practices, and according to the CSIRO Publishing Editorial Board Conduct Policy.
