The Australasian Orthodontic Journal (AOJ) is the official scientific publication of the Australian Society of Orthodontists. First published in 1967, the aim of the AOJ is to publish original, clinically relevant and evidence-based research on topics such as craniofacial development and growth, orthodontic treatment and care, and industry advancements and trends.

In 2021 the journal became fully Open Access publication. All the back issues available at exeley.com are also accessible without any restrictions.

Peer review

The review process is managed by the manuscript management software. In a double-blind process, at least two reviewers are selected according to their knowledge in the field/topic of the paper. If there is disagreement between the reviewers, a third is invited. However, the final decision to accept or reject resides with the Editor-in-Chief. All identifying author details are removed from the manuscript before electronic mailing. The reviewers have a checklist of parameters by which to assess the manuscript. The average time to first decision is 3 weeks and the types of decisions possible are: accept without revision, minor revision, major revision, or reject.
