The Australasian Journal of Philosophy (AJP), founded in Sydney in 1923 as "The Australasian Journal of Psychology and Philosophy", is Australasia's oldest and most respected philosophy journal. Sponsored by the Australasian Association of Philosophy, it aims to publish the best work in the analytic tradition and is frequently cited in the general philosophical literature. In 2007 it was rated 'A' (the highest category) in the European Reference Index in the Humanities (ERIH).

Publishing history

The AJP was published triannually until 1970 and quarterly since. Oxford University Press was its publisher from 1998 to 2004, followed by Taylor and Francis under its Routledge imprint after 2005. Contents of the journal are now also published electronically and available in academic and research libraries world-wide.

ubmissions
