Editorial Structure

The Rangeland Journal is managed by a Publication Committee appointed by the Australian Rangeland Society. All papers are refereed. Acceptance of papers is controlled by an Editor-in-Chief working with an international panel of Associate Editors. The final decision is made by an Editor-in-Chief. The journal’s policies on peer review can be found on the journal website.

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