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 .pdf of the conference 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. The following provides a full list of the conference proceedings and papers for the Annual MERGA conference.
