The Rangeland Journal publishes papers of scientific merit for a readership of scientists, educators, managers and users. Contributions may be on any aspect of the ecology, use, management or conservation of rangelands, including wider rangeland issues such as land tenure and tourism. Papers may present the results of original research, contributions to theory or management, or new conclusions reached from the review of a topic. Their structure need not conform to that of standard scientific articles but writing style must be clear and concise. Papers describing management practice are acceptable where that practice is well documented, critically analysed and objectively presented.
