Description
Summary:This bibliography includes material related to the history of science and technology in Australia, in particular the natural sciences (physical, earth and biological sciences); some of the applied sciences (including medical and health sciences, agriculture and related subjects, and engineering); and human sciences (anthropology and psychology). Geographic areas covered are Australia, as well as New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and other Pacific Ocean islands close to Australia, and Antarctica. Biographical material is also included, as are conference proceedings, book reviews and theses. The sources used in compiling this bibliography include those that have proved useful in the past in finding relevant citations. More than 250 journals were scanned for articles. The library catalogues of the National Library of Australia and the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Ma ̄tauranga O Aotearoa, the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and Swinburne University of Technology were particularly useful sources of information. The vicissitudes of 2020 being what they were, a number of items published in 2019 came to the attention of the compiler too late for inclusion in the previous bibliography, and so are included here. In 2021, production of the bibliography moved to the Centre for Transformative Innovation Research at Swinburne University of Technology. All items in this bibliography (as with all earlier ones) are included in the Encyclopedia of Australian science and innovation (www.eoas.info), adding to a database of over 20,000 references related to the history of Australian science and technology. Invaluable assistance has been received from a number of people who alerted the compiler about recently published material for inclusion in the bibliography. Readers are invited to continue to send details of publications, for inclusion in the next issue, to the compiler at the email address above. Please note that the documentation style of the Encyclopedia of Australian science and innovation has been used in this bibliography to facilitate the subsequent use of the entries in this encyclopedia.
