About the Journal

Australian Folklore is a peer-reviewed journal, maintaining its high quality through the engagement of Australasian research with the global research community. The journal is parallel published in print and online editions. The online edition is made freely available to the general public in the spirit of open scholarship and contains the same array of scholarly articles as the print edition. Australian Folklore has long been listed by the Modern Language Association, and many papers from it cited in the MLA's selective Annual Bibliography and indices. A similar treatment is accorded by the Modern Humanities Research Association in its ABELL, both in its Traditional Culture and other appropriate sections. In Australia, it is an ERA-listed journal. Australian Folklore was first published in 1987.
