Journal of the Australian Early Medieval Association contains scholarly articles, book reviews, and short notices relating to all aspects of the early medieval period in Europe and other parts of the world from late antiquity and the end of the Roman empire to about the end of the eleventh century. The Journal aims to give a forum to emerging and established scholars from Australia and elsewhere to publish original research that engages with primary and secondary sources with a clear methodology that advances knowledge and stimulates discussion among members of the association and all interested in the early medieval world. In particular, given that the early medieval in Europe is a time of transition between the ancient and medieval worlds, the Journal aims to appeal and be relevant to readers who are specialists, students, and the educated public interested in the historical, political, social, literary, cultural, religious, ethnic, geographic, and interpretive crossovers between those worlds explored using traditional or innovative frameworks of analysis and argumentation.
The Journal applies the standards promoted by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) and is committed to furthering ethical standards in its management including peer review processes and dispute resolution processes.
