Australian Geomechanics provides a journal and news magazine for matters of interest to the Australian geotechnical community and is published quarterly, in March, June, September and December.
FOR AUTHORS
Refereed technical papers should be original and:
-Papers on geotechnical engineering, engineering geology and emvironmental geomechanics. Papers should be topical, practically oriented and preferable of national interest. Case studies describing innovative geotechnical work are particularly encouraged.
-Papers on geotechnical or geoscience research undertaken in Australia or of relevance to Australian geomechanics practice. These should clearly indicate their practical relevance and limitations.
-Authoritative reviews of aspects of geotechnical practice or aspects of geotechnical education.
FOR REVIEWERS
The peer review process is confidential and conducted anonymously. Reviewers must maintain confidentiality of manuscripts (including abstracts) and must not contact the authors regarding the manuscript. If a reviewer wishes to seek advice from colleagues while assessing a manuscript, the reviewer must consult with the Editor first.
Regardless of whether a submitted manuscript is eventually published, correspondence with the journal, review reports and other confidential material must not be published, disclosed or otherwise publicised without prior written consent.
Australian Geomechanics, in its turn, is careful not to reveal the identity of the reviewers to its the authors, either from their comments or from metadata in reports submitted in Microsoft Word or PDF format.
Australian Geomechanics is edited and produced by the Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS). The mission of the AGS is to encourage advancement and excellence in the theory and practice of geomechanics and to promote these both in Australia and overseas.
The statements made or opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect the views of the AGS.
