MERGA has a strong tradition of sharing current research and ideas from its annual conference to a wider audience, through publication of the proceedings. A complete proceedings is made available on this website at the time of the annual conference, for use by delegates. Following the conference, individual papers will also be uploaded to this website to facilitate effective location of specific material. Papers undergo a moderate blind peer review process.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION – A list of all the papers at each conference are provided by year; some but not all are downloadable. If there is a paper that you would like to access that is not yet available, please email admin@merga.net.au.
