Papers in The Bulletin cover the full spectrum from seismology and geology through to applied earthquake engineering, including:
- Studies of major historical earthquakes
- Reconnaissance reports of recent earthquake events around the world
- Technical papers which examine aspects of design and the performance of materials
- Retrofitting and upgrading issues
The Bulletin offers scientific excellence at an affordable cost. Its editorial policy is to offer:
- Peer reviewed articles
- Low cost
- Prompt publication
- Articles for a broad readership
The Bulletin is included in the membership fee (see Become a member), or is available separately by subscription (See Subscriptions). The Bulletin plays an important role in furthering the advancement of the science and practice of earthquake engineering, and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and expertise.
All publications can be ordered through the Society’s Executive Officer.
The Society gratefully acknowledges the financial support provided by
The Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake for the publication of the Bulletin.

Bulletin Contributions
Contributors are requested to submit manuscripts online via the NZSEE Bulletin Portal. The manuscripts can be submitted for review in any format; but the revised manuscripts (after the first round of review) should be prepared using Microsoft Word, using the following instructions and template. Authors may also prepare the paper using LaTex, for which a template is provided in www.bulletin.nzsee.org.nz
An abstract of about 200 words should be included in each submission. The submissions should preferably be no less than 6 pages and no more than 20 pages in the Bulletin’s double column format; submissions with less than 6 pages can be submitted as Technical Notes. All submissions will be reviewed as per the Bulletin’s review policy, which requires at least two reviews for Technical Articles and one review for Technical Notes.
