The Australian Journal of Early Career Research (AJECR) is a peer-reviewed open access journal based in Australia. The journal’s mission is to strengthen the visibility and scholarly confidence of early career researchers by providing a rigorous, transparent, and constructive publication pathway.
AJECR is multidisciplinary and welcomes work from all fields of scholarship. We value research that demonstrates methodological integrity, conceptual clarity, and a meaningful contribution to knowledge — whether disciplinary or interdisciplinary.
Our principles
- Academic rigor first: acceptance is based on scholarly merit, not career stage.
- Constructive peer review: reviewers are encouraged to provide actionable feedback while maintaining high standards.
- Transparency: clear editorial policies and publication ethics guide every decision.
- Accessibility: open access publishing to remove barriers to knowledge.
