Full Papers

Publishing your paper in the 11ASM Conference Proceedings creates an important and permanent legacy of your work. Previous ASM Conference Proceedings are published online and have been read and cited many thousands of times nationwide and internationally. The Proceedings are considered an industry journal with broad appeal to local groups, managers, policy makers and researchers. The papers describe new techniques, tools, theories or inventions, or present case histories that extend our understanding of waterway and catchment management.

All papers received are reviewed by other conference participants before being published online in the conference proceedings available on the RBMS website here. Authors will receive constructive evaluation from peers and leaders in the field. Once your paper is reviewed you will need to make changes you feel are acceptable before final submission. The Editorial Committee is there to assist with any questions or concerns about the submission or review.

Please note that the Conference Organisers and/or Committee will communicate only with the 'first author' of a paper. In the case of co-authored papers it will be the responsibility of the 'first author' to pass on to the co-author(s) communications from the editors.
