RMAP publications
The Asia-Pacific Environment Monograph (APEM) series brings together fully peer reviewed publications that showcase the work of RMAP staff, visitors and associates such as for example RMAP staff supervised doctoral dissertations, translations of already published work in other Asia-Pacific countries, and RMAP organized workshop or conference proceedings. The APEM series is freely available for easy access in a range of formats (PDF, HTML for onscreen viewing or mobile devices) and is also available at a reasonable cost as 'print-on-demand' through the ANU E-Press website. RMAP monographs published prior to the APEM Series are also available via this listing.
Papers in the Resources, Environment and Development (READ) Pacific Discussion Paper series are designed to present detailed evidence on environmental issues that are subject to intense political debate in the countries of the Pacific island region, and to do so in time for this evidence to have an impact on the progress of the debate and the decisions of policy makers in these countries. Papers are typically twice the length of a normal journal articles, and will commonly give rise to more than one such article on the subject under consideration. However, the current lead times for publication in academic journals are normally too long for their publication to make a timely and significant policy impact. Immediate publication in digital form makes the papers more accessible to readers in the region and enables the content to be discussed in newspaper articles and blogs that deal with issues of the moment.
The Development Bulletin is a free on-line biannual journal of the Development Studies Network, a small multidisciplinary organization which encourages discussion and widespread exchange of knowledge of global social and economic development issues, development-related research, and international aid policy and practice, housed within RMAP. Each issue provides a number of concise papers on a significant and topical development issue written by respected professionals and provides a variety of perspectives from different disciplines and development experiences.
The RMAP Working Paper series(1997-2008) sought to provide readers with access to current research on environmental and resource issues in the Asia-Pacific. Working Papers produced by the Program aimed at facilitating discussion on critical resource management issues, and linking scholars working in different disciplines and regions. Publication as a 'Working Paper' has not precluded subsequent publication in scholarly journals or books. Unless otherwise stated, publications of the RMAP Program are presented without endorsement as contributions to public debate. Authors are responsible for their own analysis and conclusions. The Working paper series has been discontinued as papers presented in RMAP seminars are now mostly available as podcasts.
