Summary
The Annual report of the Commonwealth Scientific and Inustrial Research Organisation (ISSN 1030-4223) was first published by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in 1949. (Over time the title, and the cover title, has varied.) It supercedes the Annual report of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, the predecessor of CSIRO. Content has varied, but usually included information on governance; co-operation with the states; general reports of research under broad headings such as soils, nutrition and fisheries; financial statements; information and library services; and lists of staff and publications. Detailed reports of research projects are included in the annual reports of the responsible Divisions.
