Australian Journal of Early Career Research
Welcome to the Australian Journal of Early Career Research (AJECR) — an Australia-based, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary, open access academic journal supporting early career researchers worldwide.
AJECR publishes rigorous, original, and ethically sound scholarship across disciplines.
“Early career” refers to the career stage of contributing authors (e.g., doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and early career academics) and does not imply reduced academic standards. All submissions are assessed using the same expectations of scholarly quality applied by established journals.
