The New Zealand Journal of Outdoor Education is soliciting scholarly articles for publication following blind peer review.
The purpose of the New Zealand Journal of Outdoor Education is to publish original refereed contributions on all aspects of outdoor education, broadly defined, with a New Zealand context or focus. We are particularly interested in articles that apply academic insights to practice. The journal will facilitate the interchange of ideas and information and contribute to the development of a New Zealand perspective on moving and learning in the outdoors. The work of established and emerging writers is encouraged. To inform our readership, we will also reprint meritorious articles with a New Zealand context that have been published elsewhere, pending permission of the original publication.
The New Zealand Journal of Outdoor Education is published by Outdoors New Zealand twice a year, generally in June and December. Manuscripts may be submitted at any time. Articles published in the journal express the views of their authors and not necessarily those of the Editorial Board or of Outdoors New Zealand.

Manuscript Processing

A manuscript is sent to members of the Editorial Board to read as part of a peer review process. They will make comments on the paper in terms of its appropriateness for the journal, quality of the literature, methodology (where appropriate), analysis, conclusions and originality. They will also provide constructive feedback on effective writing to emerging writers. This report will form the basis of acceptance, rejection or required modifications to a paper before publication.
