The Australasian Philosophical Review is a general journal of philosophy in Open Peer Commentary format. It publishes significant and controversial invited lead articles by authors from all areas of philosophy, together with invited and open peer commentaries on those invited lead articles, and lead authors' responses to all of these commentaries. Each issue has a different curator, (chosen by a committee of the Australasian Association of Philosophy). The curator, in conjunction with an issue committee established by the curator, is responsible for the choice of the author of the invited lead article and the authors of the invited commentaries. The curator and the issue committee also select open peer commentaries following a rigorous, anonymized review process. In order to submit an open peer commentary for consideration for publication in an issue, potential authors must first sign up to the APR Commentary Community, at http://australasianphilosophicalreview.org/ ("register as a commentator").

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
