Details
From the National Library of Australia catalogue entry:
"Australasian Science is the region's only independent scientific magazine. It has been Australia's authority on science since 1938 when it was first published as The Australian Journal of Science by the Australian National Research Council, which was the forerunner of the Australian Academy of Science. In 1954 the journal was transferred to ANZAAS - the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science. Throughout this time the journal published the research of eminent Australian scientists, including Sir Douglas Mawson and Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet, whose groundbreaking clonal selection theory was published in the journal in 1957. The journal has evolved considerably over almost eight decades. Now published as Australasian Science, it is the only magazine dedicated to Australian and New Zealand science."
