The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) is the federal government agency for scientific research in Australia with its headquarters in Canberra and numerous sites around Australia. It was founded in 1916 as the Advisory Council of Science and Industry, evolved to the Institute of Science and Industry in 1920 and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in 1926. CSIRO works with leading organisations around the world, and CSIRO Publishing publishes journals presenting the latest research by leading Australian and overseas scientists and covering a broad range of subjects.
