About Australasian Science
Australasian Science is Australia’s longest-running science magazine, having been first published as The Australian Journal of Science in 1938 by the Australian National Research Council, which was the forerunner of the Australian Academy of Science.
In 1954 it was transferred to ANZAAS – the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science.
In 1970 it was relaunched as Search and given an emphasis on science and technology in society.
Now published as Australasian Science, it is Australia’s only monthly science magazine, and the only magazine that is dedicated to Australian and New Zealand science.
Its Patrons are Nobel Laureate Prof Peter Doherty and ABC broadcaster Robyn Williams – representing excellence in science and its communication
The magazine's mission is to publish world-class science from the region's most inspiring minds.
Not only does Australasian Science boast the most experienced team of science journalists in Australia, it also publishes a broad range of articles from scientists writing about their own work using their own words: no hype, no spin, no bull – just the facts.
We encourage the scientists to write in plain language explaining the significance of their work to the general public.
Written in simple language, Australasian Science provides a unique local perspective on scientific developments and issues that other science magazines can’t match.
