AJEM Researcher Survey

This survey is administered by the Australian Journal of Emergency Management (AJEM) editorial team within the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience.

The purpose of this survey is to hear from research authors about their preferences for publishing research papers.

The Australian Government established AJEM in 1986 and it remains a premier journal for emergency and disaster management and risk reduction covering all hazards and all emergencies. AJEM is a Q2-ranked journal and we publish online and in print each quarter.

We are seeking your considered input into this survey. Feel free to share this survey with others who are likely to be authors of research manuscripts in the fields of emergency management, natural hazards management and risk reduction.

Responses are anonymous and confidential, however, there is provision for inclusion of some information about you that we would appreciate.

If you have any questions about the survey please contact AJEM@aidr.org.au
