page-numbers

A note on article page numbering:
From 2024, this journal has moved to a continuous online publication model. This means that the article can be published quickly after it has been accepted without waiting for the next issue, typically within 7-10 days after acceptance. To streamline this process, we have opted to use the article reference number for the page numbers in the recommended citation. Articles will retain page numbers, but they will all commence from page 1 to avoid the potential of errors with articles from the same issue going through production simultaneously, meaning the article reference number is used to identify articles within an issue rather than the page numbers.

We acknowledge and pay respect to the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung Peoples of the Eastern Kulin, the Traditional Owners of the lands upon which our Melbourne office is situated.
