ARIIA publications
Understanding ARIIA publications
ARIIA shares research findings through a range of publication types. Each type is designed for a different purpose and audience.
Peer-reviewed journal articles: These articles are reviewed through independent academic editorial processes before publication.
Trade journal articles: These articles are written for sector and professional audiences. They may not be peer reviewed, but they are informed by evidence and professional insight. ARIIA reviews these articles internally to support quality, accuracy and alignment with our editorial principles.
White papers: Following recognised industry formats, their structure and focus may vary depending on the project purpose, audience and funder requirements.
Grant-funded publications: Publications developed through grant-funded projects are supported by the contributing academic institutions. Publication costs are covered by the authors’ organisations.
Publication disclaimer
All publications reflect the views of the individual authors. They do not represent the official positions of ARIIA, Flinders University or the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.
