Australasian Journal of Market & Social Research

The Australasian Journal of Market & Social Research (AJMSR) is the official journal of the Australian Market & Social Research Society (AMSRS). It is published twice yearly. From December 2008 the Journal is published in electronic format only. 

Original papers are invited. There is an editorial policy to ensure that a mix of theoretical and practical papers are presented. Papers should be of some relevance to at least a segment of the population of practicing market researchers. Purely academic marketing papers are probably more suitable elsewhere. All papers are refereed by independent assessors. Editor: Professor David Bednall, you can contact him on dbednall@deakin.edu.au 

Click on the links below to download the edition you are interested in. Please note: as all editions before 2008 were print only versions we have only been able to provide a scanned copy of those versions and therefore they are not as high quality as the editions designed for online only.
